Yes, absolutely. The investigation into the offense may well still be continuing and additional evidence uncovered.
As long as the defense is advised of this evidence during 'discovery' it is perfectly admissible.

What is the formal written statement that is presented by the grand jury?
I think you are probably confusing the word "accusation" for the word 'indictment.' Grand Juries hand down indictments. An indictment is a formal charge issued by a grand jury stating that there is enough evidence that the defendant committed the crime to justify having a trial; it is used primarily for felonies.
Can evidence from one trial be used in another?
If the evidence is relevant in another trial, it can be used. The issue may be whether there should be a second trial at all. If it is a second trial with the same defendant there are issues of double jeopardy. If it is a second trial with a different defendant then the question arises whether the evidence is relevant. There can also be a civil trial following a criminal trial, in which case again the question is one of relevance. The most famous civil trial following a criminal trial is the OJ Simpson situation, and much evidence from the criminal trial was relevant to the civil lawsuit. See related links below.

What is the evidence used to do if a trial has no jury?
If your trial has no jury, then you or your counsel has chosen a "bench trial" whereby the judge will hear the case and render a decision. The evidence is used exactly as if a jury is present, only it, and the entire case, will be presented to the judge instead.
What are Three principal kinds of charging documents?
The three principle kinds of charging documents are: 1) a complaint - is a charging document specifying that an offense has been committed by a person or persons named or described. A complaint document is used in the case of a misdemeanor or an ordinance violation. 2) an information - outlines the formal charge or charges, the law or laws that been violated, and the evidence to support the charge or charges. An information is used in states that do not use grand juries. 3) a grand jury indictment - Is a written accusation by a grand jury that one or more persons have committed a crime. A grand jury indictment document is used for a trial.
