If a person confesses to a crime but is found not guilty can someone else be charged with the same crime?

You can only be tried in a criminal court once for the same crime. However you can be tried in civil court for the same event. O.J. Simpson for example. You could be tried in a different jurisdiction under a different theory for the same events. For example, you murder someone and are acquitted in state court. You confess to the crime. The feds could try you in federal court for depriving the deceased of his civil rights and/or for conspiracy.
