MIAMI — That Miami criminal defense attorney Jonathan Schwartz changed police lineup photos in a police lineup during a witness deposition wasn’t in question. The disagreements came in what should be done about it.
After the Florida Bar prosecuted a complaint against Schwartz, the first referee said the Florida Bar hadn’t proven the attorney violated any rules. A second referee advised a 90-day suspension followed by a year of probation.
The state Supreme Court made the suspension three years. Schwartz begins his suspension March 19.
