Memo from:  Interim State Attorney Peter Antonacci
To:  Judge Barry Cohen
Re:  Recusal
How dare you exercise your right to freedom of speech in your courtroom.  We do not allow the citizens of Palm Beach County to exercise their constitutional rights, and we do not allow our Jurists to protect those rights. 
    Public shame and humiliation to State Attorney Peter Antonacci.  It is my opinion that you are incompetent to practice law and to be able to protect the public trust granted to you. 
  Kudos to Judge Barry Cohen and I hope that we hear more from him on denouncing mandatory minimum sentences.
