Concurring Opinion by
ACOBA, J.,
in which DUFFY, J., joins.
I continue to adhere to the position taken in my dissent in State v. Rivera, 106 Hawai'i 146, 102 P.3d 1044 (2004). However, in the absence of a mandate “that the states retroactively apply a new [federal] constitutional rule [of procedure] for criminal cases[,] ... applicable ... through the fourteenth amendment^]” State v. Garcia, 96 Hawai'i 200, 213 n. 19, 29 P.3d 919, 932 n. 19 (2001), I concur in the result.
