Under American law, a person "cannot be tried twice for the same offense"; that is, for the same single incident. If a person is acquitted of murder, that does not mean they cannot be tried for (and convicted of) another murder. (They can also be found guilty of other crimes stemming from the first incident, but they cannot be retried once acquitted.)
