If you were tried and sentenced, it is hard to withdraw your plea and be tried again. Why don't you ask your lawyer? If you are totally confused about what your lawyer told you, you need to tell the judge when he sentences you. You are entitled to know what is going on. Your jail or prison has provisions for post conviction relief. You need to check there to find out your next step. There are a number of procedures that are possible. Some must follow a particular order. It is like Baseball. In baseball, if you skip a base and go to the wrong one first, you are out. Some procedures have a time limit. Some Federal Judges have bounced an inmates first attempt with the rubber stamp, "You did not send this to state court first." Then after the inmate sent it to state court, the same federal judge bounced the same motion with a rubber stamp that said something like, "You have already used your one turn at an attempt for a petition for a writ of habeas corpus." Another inmate had just gotten relief from the same judge on the same issue!

1. Final Sentencing.

2. Direct Appeal.

3. Petition for State Habeas Corpus or Equivalent

4. Direct Appeal for Petition of State Habeas Corpus or Equivalent

5. Petition for State Appeal or Supreme Court Habeas Corpus

6. (Rarely when next level down has issued conflicting rulings: Petition for State Supreme or Appeal Court Certification)

7. Petition for Federal Circuit Court Habeas Corpus

8. Petition for Federal Appeal Court Review

9. (Almost never works: Petition for Federal Supreme Court Certification)

Can a prosecutor alter a charge after sentencing?

No. Any such action should be reported to the state attorney general.If the defendant has already been sentenced, then the case is adjudicated, completed, finished, over, done with.It would be an impossibility for a prosecutor to alter the entire preceding case and change the charge (after-the-fact) for which the defendant has already been tried and sentenced.If they wished to charge the adjudicated defendant with a NEW offense, then that avenue is open to him.

Can you be sentenced twice for 1 crime 20 years apart?

Due to double jeopardy you can't be sentenced for the same crime more than once. Double jeopardy law states you can't be tried for the same crime if there was an aquittal verdict. You can be tried for the same crime more than once if the first trial ended in a hung jury or there was a mistrial. So if you were sentenced once that means you were found guilty the first time. The only exception to this would be if the first verdict was overturned on appeal and the judge grants a new trial. If you are found guilty again you would have a new sentencing. But, there would have to be new evidence for the judge to overturn the first verdict.

Can a criminal in prison be convicted of murder if already in prison for murder if he kills in the prison?

Yes the person can. The person convicted of the first murder is sentenced to jail time then that murder is done with. If while incarcerated and another murder is occurred then the subject will be go to trial for murder again but not the same person. You are thinking of double jeopardy. This only occurs after someone is tried and found not guilty. At that point the subject can run outside and say he did it with out being able to be tried again.
