    You asked that I "strike" the "sham order of Judge Martha Cook." I do not have the authority to strike an order from a judge. You would need to appeal the order to the appropriate appellate court. I am not a member of the judiciary, nor is The Florida Bar a tribunal. A prosecutor is obligated to seek truth and to "do justice." See Model Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 3.8 Cmt. (1) (1983)(describing prosecutors as "minister[s] of justice"); Model Code of Professional Responsibility EC7-13 (1981) (stating that prosecutors must "seek justice"); ABA Standards for Criminal Justice A§ 3-1.2(c) (3d ed. 1993) ("The duty of the prosecutor is to seek justice, not merely to convict").
