2022The other “factors of reliance and burden on the administration of justice are of significant relevance only when the question of retroactivity is a close one after the purpose of the new rule is considered.” (Ibid.; see Guerra, supra, 37 Cal.3d at pp. 401-402.) make substantive changes to the Three Strikes law (pp. 20-23, ante) but instead addressed the procedural issue of how the court should go about making the determination of whether a prior conviction counts as a strike.

2011Further, if the rule relates to characteristics of the judicial system which are essential to minimizing convictions of the innocent, it will apply retroactively regardless of the reliance of prosecutors on former law, and regardless of the burden which retroactivity will place upon the judicial system.” (Johnson, at p. 413.) “[T]he most consistent application of this principle [of applying new rules retroactively] has been in cases in which the primary purpose of the new rule is to promote reliable determinations of guilt or innocence.” (Guerra, supra, 37 Cal.3d at p. 402 .)

2022Under Johnson, the retroactivity of a new rule is determined by “ ‘ “(a) the purpose to be served by the new standards, (b) the extent of the reliance by law enforcement authorities on the old standards, and (c) the effect on the administration of justice of a retroactive application of the new standards.” ’ ” (Johnson, supra, 3 Cal.3d at p. 410 .) The first factor — the purpose of the new rule — is the critical factor in determining retroactivity.

2020Under the state standard, “the retroactivity of a new rule ‘is to be determined by “‘(a) the purpose to be served by the new standards, (b) the extent of the reliance by law enforcement authorities on the old standards, and (c) the effect on the administration of justice of a retroactive application of the new standards.’”’ [Citation.]” (In re Lucero, supra, 200 Cal.App.4th at p. 45 , quoting In re Johnson, supra, at p. 413 .) The first factor is of primary importance and will generally be deemed controlling if the new rule’s purpose plainly favors retroactive or prospective application.

2016In Montgomery v. Louisiana, supra, 577 U.S. at page _ [ 136 S.Ct. at p. 729 ], the court held that “when a new substantive rule of constitutional law controls the outcome of a case, the Constitution requires state collateral review courts to give retroactive effect to that rule.” Respondent argues Montgomery v. Louisiana has no effect on the retroactivity of Chiu because Chiu did not concern a substantive rule of federal constitutional law but an interpretation of California statute.
