They can DEFINITELY file other charges against her. They just can't try her for the same charges again.
Even if she publicly stands on the courthouse steps Thursday and says "I did it, I'm guilty, I killed her," she cannot be tried for the same charges again because she's been tried for those once, and the prosecution only has one chance to bring charges against her... it's a double jeopardy thing.
However, they CAN bring other charges against her, if there's evidence to support them and to support an arrest.
