Posted January 5, 2013 6:17pm. There is no limit. A mistrial means that there was no verdict, so until the prosecutor decides ot stop trying the case, they can continue to go to trial. It is unfortunate, but unless the jury agrees they can keep trying.
1 Trials can also be conducted by judges alone, when the defendant waives the right to a jury, but prelims never involve a jury.  The burden of proof, while still on the prosecution, is much lower during a preliminary hearing than it is during trial. At trial, the prosecution has the burden of proving each element of the charged offense(s) beyond a reasonable doubt.
