H.Doc. 108-224 Black Americans in Congress 1870-2007
H CURRENT MEMBERS H Alcee Hastings 1936– UNITED STATES REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRAT FROM FLORIDA 1993– The son of domestic workers, Alcee L. Hastings became Florida’s first African- American federal judge and, in 1992, one of the first handful of blacks to represent the state in the U.S. Congress in the 20th century. An eight-term veteran of the House, Representative Hastings holds high-ranking positions on both the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Rules Committee. Image courtesy of the Member Alcee Lamar Hastings, son of Julius C. and Mildred L. Hastings, was born in Altamonte Springs, Florida, on September 5, 1936. His parents were domestic servants who eventually left the state to take jobs to pay for his education. Hastings, who lived with his maternal grandmother, graduated from Crooms Academy in Sanford, Florida, in 1953. He earned a bachelor of arts degree in zoology and botany from Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1958 and later attended Howard University School of Law in Washington, DC. In 1963, Hastings graduated with a J.D. from Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University in Tallahassee. In 1964, he was admitted to the Florida bar, and he practiced as a civil rights attorney for the next 13 years. Hastings is twice-divorced, with three children: Alcee Lamar III, Chelsea, and Leigh. From 1977 to 1979, Hastings served as a circuit court judge in Broward County, Florida. In 1979, President James Earl (Jimmy) Carter appointed Hastings to a U.S. District Court seat in Miami, making him the first black federal judge in Florida history.1 In 1992, when court-ordered reapportionment created a U.S.

Docket No. 3:16-cr-00093-TJC-JRK-1 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, versus CORRINE BROWN, Defendant - Appellant. ________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida ________________________ (January 9, 2020) Before WILLIAM PRYOR and ROSENBAUM, Circuit Judges, and CONWAY,∗ District Judge. ∗ Honorable Anne C. Conway, District Judge for the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, sitting by designation. Case: 17-15470 Date Filed: 01/09/2020 Page: 2 of 116 ROSENBAUM, Circuit Judge: If the right to a jury trial means anything, it means a right to a verdict based on the evidence. Indeed, the entirety of our procedural mechanisms is geared to achieve this result: we have trials so we can ensure all jurors consider the same universe of evidence; we have an entire body of rules—the Federal Rules of Evidence—devoted to controlling the information on which jurors can rely in reaching their decision; and we expressly instruct the jurors that they must determine their verdict based on the evidence. Then, if a defendant loses at trial, on appeal, we review the record to be certain that sufficient evidence supports the verdict. We do these things to try to ensure that only those proven guilty based on admissible evidence will be convicted and to try to prevent convictions that arise from prejudice or even ostensibly noble reasons—such as a juror’s belief that God has told him to convict, irrespective of the evidence.
