Professor Gallini’s article, “The Unlikely Meeting Between Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and Benjamin Quarles,” was accepted for publication in volume 66 of the Case Western Reserve Law Review. The forthcoming piece considers the federal government’s reliance on the public safety exception to Miranda as a basis for interrogating Marathon Bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, without providing Miranda warnings. It argues in part that if the government’s reliance on the public safety exception in the context of Tsarnaev’s interrogation is constitutionally correct, then Miranda should become an exception to a new general rule that officers should assume a threat to public safety following even a routine arrest.

Professor Sacharoff’s article “Trespass and Deception” has been published in the Brigham Young University Law Review (2015 B.Y.U. L. Rev. 359). The article applies the Supreme Court's new Fourth Amendment trespass test to police deception cases. It focuses on the question of whether the police violate the amendment when they pose, for example, as home buyers to enter someone's home and search for drugs. Sacharoff placed his article “Constitutional Trespass” in volume 81 of the Tennessee Law Review (81 Tenn. L. Rev. 877 (2014)). This paper, a previously unreported placement, proposes a trespass test as an alternative to a privacy test when determining whether law enforcement has conducted a Fourth Amendment search.
