Law/Crime question for a story!?!?

What happen if a court (judge) finds an individual guilty of a crime and sentences him to life in prison, and then someone jumps up in the court and confesses to the crime.

Is the person that was found guilty released and the new guy taken to prison, or how does that work?

Im writing and trying to make sure I have my facts straight.
