What are the pleas a defendant can make?
Guilty - Not Guilty - Nolo Contendre. The last being Latin meaning; I don't plead Guilty but I acknowledge that there is probably sufficient evidence to convict me. In juvenile courts the pleas can be 'Involved'" and 'Not Involved.'" Same as guilty and not guilty but it sounds nicer.

If there is a reasonable doubt that a person is innocent of a crime he or she?
... may or may not be convicted of the crime ... At least in the USA... On the other hand if there is reasonable doubt that a person is guilty of a crime, he or she is supposed to be acquitted (which is not the same as declared innocent).
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.
