Tricky question! A little strange as well.
If durring a trail the Judge decides that The accused did not kill the victim but did try, yes that conviction would be possible.
If the accused is acquitted of Homicide he can not be retried for the same crime, this is called "double jeopardy". There is a good WIKI artical on tthe concept.
If there is a seperate incedent where the accussed did attempt Homicide yes he can be convicted.
