No crosswalk. Mid-block, someone steps off the curb right in front of you. Do you have to stop? No, they are jaywalking and you have the right of way? Yes, slow or stop? Or only in a school zone?
Yes. They are in the wrong: outside a crosswalk the pedestrian must yield to traffic. But that never lets you hit them. The California Vehicle Code says the rule does not relieve the driver of the duty to exercise due care for the safety of any pedestrian on the roadway, and the Florida handbook says it is the motorist's responsibility to do everything possible to avoid colliding with a pedestrian. Slow down or stop, then go when they are clear.
