Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

In california, if a deputy district attorney made a plea deal with a person who plead no contest to killing a person, and was given involuntary manslaughter, and hasn't been sentenced yet, can this person still go to a jury trial if new evidence has been aquired that would help in a trial? If yes, how would someone in the public get this person to a jury trial?
