Why would a mistrial be declared? Does that prevent a future prosecution of these charges?
It will likely result in a new trial of those counts.
So she was found guilty on 4 charges. Not guilty on 4 charges. And no verdict on the remaining 3 charges. So does she have to get another trial on the remaining 3?
Considering she was found guilty on 4, it's not obvious that they will bother.
Count one of conspiring to commit wire fraud against investors in Theranos between 2010 and 2015: Guilty. Count two of conspiring to commit wire fraud against patients who paid for Theranos’s blood testing services between 2013 and 2016: Not guilty.

This will sound weird but I am a collector of swag from large companies that have collapsed due to anything from mismanagement to outright fraud.

Wish I had gone big on this one earlier, because I have a fe…
