California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Hood, C088355 (Cal. App. 2020):
The due process analysis under the California Constitution is at least as favorable to a defendant as the analysis under the federal Constitution. (People v. Cowan, supra, 50 Cal.4th at pp. 430-431.) We thus apply California law. (Id. at p. 431.)
