Prosecutors say they will ask a judge to imprison for 35 years ex-Broward Sheriff’s deputy and self-styled justice reformer Jonathan Bleiweiss because he violated the lenient plea deal he struck eight years ago.

“The defendant in this case received the benefits of the plea agreement he made but he has not complied with the terms of the agreement he made. He should be held accountable,” Bleiweiss prosecutor Neva Rainford-Smith told Florida Bulldog.
