NO! Double Jeopardy prevents this from happening... if new evidence is found that could be used to appeal the case to a different court, also you could just charge the person with a different offense

Can a person be arrested and put on trial for the same crime twice?
Yes,it can happen. O.J. Simpson got arrested for the same crime 3 times!! No. A person cannot be arrested for the same crime twice because of the Fifth Amendment which states: "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

Can appellate courts take new cases that have never been tried before?
No, an appellate court may not hear new evidence. The power of the appellate court is strictly to review the record of the trial court to determine whether any errors that would affect the outcome of the case were committed. If the appellate court felt that there was insufficient evidence to support the trial court judgement, it will reverse the judgment rather than call for new evidence. If the appellate court feels that evidence was improperly excluded from the trial, it could reverse the trial court decision and remand it for a retrial with a direction that the new evidence be admitted on rehearing. IN either event the appellate will not act as a trial court and hear new evidence.
