2005See supra note 14. [16] For an extended discussion of why the restrictive Teague standard is inappropriate as a standard for retroactivity in state courts see my opinion in Hughes and the authorities discussed therein. [17] Stovall v. Denno, 388 U.S. 293 , 87 S.Ct. 1967 , 18 L.Ed.2d 1199 (1967); Linkletter v. Walker, 381 U.S. 618 , 85 S.Ct. 1731 , 14 L.Ed.2d 601 (1965). [18] Indeed, perhaps the most notable case emanating from Florida that was given retroactive application was one that involved judicial process and the right to counsel during that process.

2016Jurists have echoed this type of approach as a remedy to the more exacting federal Teague standard.21 Federal courts have employed a similar preservation approach, and it is “one of the dominant means by which federal courts limit the disruptive effects of legal change in the context of direct review of federal criminal convictions.”22 Regardless of the limited federal approach, scholars urge state courts to pull retroactivity off Teague’s constitutional floor,23 which the Supreme Court expressly permitted in Danforth v. Minnesota. 552 U.S. 264 , 280 (2008).
