...stand trial again on the same trial? Did you mean on the same charge? If so, no that is double jeopardy. If further compelling evidence is found, it's possible to be charged with a different offense if the evidence warrants it. For example, you were tried and found not guilty for murder. Evidence surfaces that the person did not go with you willingly as it was originally assumed. You could then be charged with kidnapping for the same incident.
