If a sheriff believes someone is innocent can they still be charged with murder?

Yes. Most often the sheriff has nothing to do with charging a person in a criminal case.
The police agency only investigates and reports. The charges are decided and laid by the prosecuting attorney.
However if the investigators are not convinced of the suspect's guilt, it would be much more difficult to gain a conviction.
