California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Lawson, 189 Cal.App.3d 741, 234 Cal.Rptr. 557 (Cal. App. 1987):
Assuming Figueroa established a new rule of law, the question then becomes whether the prior rule to the contrary was one upon which anyone could have justifiably relied. (People v. Guerra, supra, 37 Cal.3d at p. 399, 208 Cal.Rptr. 162, 690 P.2d 635.)
