Awesome
I took all of the different courses that he was teaching at Seton Hall. His classes super interesting.They were not easy and I only got average grades. He has the charisma and passion for the material that made me want to learn. I will take his class again.

Maratea was the first professor I had in my Criminal Justice major. I learned a lot even though Maratea could barely communicate. If you have any questions he will always make an effort to help you. He always gives great examples that further develop the concepts in his lectures.

Good
He did call out students for using phones but IMO the only ass in class is the student who shows up just to go on their phone.

A history of the McCleskey v. Kemp Supreme Court ruling that effectively condoned racism in capital cases\n\nIn 1978 Warren McCleskey
a black man
killed a white police officer in Georgia. He was convicted by a jury of 11 whites and 1 African American
and was sentenced to death. Although McCleskey’s lawyers were able to prove that Georgia courts applied the death penalty to blacks who killed whites four times as often as when the victim was black
the Supreme Court upheld the death sentence in McCleskey v.Kemp
thus institutionalizing the idea that racial bias was acceptable in the capital punishment system. After a thirteen-year legal journey
McCleskey was executed in 1991. \nIn Killing with Prejudice
R.J. Maratea chronicles the entire litigation process which culminated in what has been called “the Dred Scott decision of our time.” Ultimately
the Supreme Court chose to overlook compelling empirical evidence that revealed the discriminatory manner in which the assailants of African Americans are systematically undercharged and the aggressors of white victims are far more likely to receive a death sentence. He draws a clear line from the lynchings of the Jim Crow era to the contemporary acceptance of the death penalty and the problem of mass incarceration today.\n\nThe McCleskey decision underscores the racial
socioeconomic
and gender disparities in modern American capital punishment
and the case is fundamental to understanding how the death penalty functions for the defendant
victims
and within the American justice system as a whole.
