2 sentences

1987In other words, rather than setting forth a determinative test, as the threshold criterion does, this criterion is used as a balancing factor. [[Image here]] We note that this criterion is generally designed to protect persons who innocently rely on judicial or legislative law rather than agencies which rely upon their own regulation.... [T]his factor is of minimal importance where the purpose and intended effect of the new rule of law clearly justifies a retroactive application. 684 P.2d at 119 (emphasis added). 20 .

1979Commonwealth v. O'Shea, 318 A.2d at 715 (emphasis in original, citation omitted). [22] The following analysis draws on the analysis in State v. Paz, 572 P.2d at 1041-42 , of the "Factors to be Considered in the Objective Approach." The Paz decision lists three: whether the defendant could have left the scene of the interrogation voluntarily; whether the defendant was questioned as a suspect or a witness; and whether the defendant freely and voluntarily accompanied the police to the place of questioning. [23] This factor cannot by itself be the determinative test for custody.
