If the facts or scenario involved are applicable to the offense, and the crime is a violation of state law, yes, they could be. (e.g.: A person charged with committing a federal hate crime for assaulting a protected minoirty - and the charge against them was dismissed - the state could then, theoretically, charge the defendant under a more specifically worded state statute - assault.)
