Theoretically yes, but in practicality, no.
If a convicted person was granted a retrial, it would usually be because new evidence has surfaced that cast doubt on their guilt. It would be unlikely to face a stiffer sentence based on that new evidence. |

If granted a retrial then everything starts all over again including the penalty sought by the DA. |
