Court said they have no jurisdiction?
You have not mentioned which court and the type of dispute involved. However Court cannot try any case without the Jurisdiction. Jurisdiction depends on the type of statutes exists in that particular state.

What court would hear a murder case first?
It depends on what the crime is, it usually is heard in the magistrates court to see if there is enough evidence held against the offender. then the crime case will be taken to another court room. A murder case would most likely be heard in a state trial court, since the states are primarily responsible for prosecuting crimes within their border. It would be less likely to be in a federal trial court, because there is no federal statute prohibiting a straight murder charge. When murders are prosecuted in federal courts, there must be some federal aspect to it, such as crossing state lines to do it or doing it in order to deprive someone of their civil rights under federal law. In any event, even if there is some federal aspect to it, the state would still have jurisdiction to try the murder case.

It will be heard in a court of 'original jurisdiction,' (i.e.: a court within the same jurisdiction in which the crime occurred).Since bank robbery is both a federal and a state crime, if the defendant was indicted by a federal grand jury Joe would be tried in a US District Court.

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.

Why do you have a federal and state court system in a federal system?
The United States has a dual court system that consists of federal courts and state courts because the federal government and state governments are separate entities. Federal courts generally handle matters related to federal laws, US treaties and the US Constitution. Each state is governed by federal laws, but also has an independent government with its own constitution, laws and local ordinances, and the right to enforce them. The state court system processes cases that arise under their jurisdiction (authority) and ensures defendants and litigants receive due process under the state statutes and constitution, as well as under the US Constitution. The federal courts don't have a right to hear these cases unless they also involve federal or US constitutional law.
