A second trial appears likely for Veronica Martinez Salcedo, the nanny who remains accused of shaking the baby in her care to death in May of 2006.

An Auburn jury deliberated for more than a week before announcing on October 31 that it was unable to reach a unanimous verdict. The panel reportedly stood 10 to 2 for conviction. Martinez Salcedo is charged with the death of 15-month-old Hannah Juceam of Roseville. Prosecutors claimed she died from injuries sustained when she was shaken by the nanny.

Martinez Salcedo remains in custody in the Placer County Jail. If convicted of assault on a child causing death, she could be sentenced to state prison for up to 25 years.
