Does poor interpretation of evidence count as new evidence?

When a new expert calls the earlier interpretation of evidence presented "wrong" this probably won't be enough.
Conviction is already accomplished, trial is over, execution is scheduled.

There obviously should be a new trial based on the evidence.
