It is not really new evidence its a change to the way the defence want existing evidence interpreted by the jury after they already came to a lawful verdict. If that was the way Rosendorff actually felt then the defence lawyers should have established that during disposition or trial. The fact it happened AFTER the trial either means incompetence by the lawyers or Rosendorff has somehow been influenced after the trial. The whole point of the trial is to establish facts and the fact is that those statements were made under oath and then accepted as fact during the trial. Trying to argue that the emphasis of the accepted factual statement was wrong isn't new evidence and isn't grounds for a retrial.
