A jury convicted Arias on first-degree murder charges in the May 8 in the stabbing death of her lover Travis Alexander in his suburban Phoenix home. About two weeks later, the same jury failed to reach a unanimous decision on whether to sentence Arias to life in prison or death.
A new jury will need to be seated before the second penalty phase can move forward.
Monday's hearing is set for 8:30 a.m., reports KPHO.
Arias' lawyers have filed a motion asking a judge to bar cameras in the courtroom during the second penalty phase. They've also asked a judge to to monitor the Twitter accounts of the new jurors in order to be certain the panel isn't using social media to communicate about the case.
