Troublesome Questions Haunt DA in Case of Killer/Doctor
As many as four  or more shots may have been fired into the victim

By Jeff Blanchard

daokeefe98_153What he (the DA) failed to mention, and still has yet to discuss, is how many times Gryboski shot her husband, Patrick Lancaster...When the Cape and Islands District Attorney’s office announced in August there would be no prosecution of Dr. Ann Gryboski in the self-confessed shooting death of her husband on Easter Sunday 2007, top prosecutor Michael O’Keefe said, "This is a finding by the Grand Jury consistent with the evidence in this particular case."

What he failed to mention, and still has yet to discuss, is how many times Gryboski shot her husband, Patrick Lancaster. Nowhere has it been written or discussed in public the exact number of times Dr. Gryboski fired her gun, how many shots hit their target, or even exactly how many people fired shots.

In search of those answers, I spoke this morning with three people in the office of the state Medical Examiner, an executive assistant who said all questions need to go through another state agency; the medical examiner on the case, Dr. Faryl Sandler, who said she is not allowed to communicate with reporters; and the chief medical examiner himself, who said the information being sought is not available through his office, but rather through police records or the prosecutor himself.

DA's failure to address the suggestion that he and Dr. Gryboski have known each other for years.O'Keefe was personally acquainted with the killer
From the beginning, and still to this day, the local police have referred all inquiries to the district attorney, who himself has been tangled up in the case by dint of his failure to address the suggestion that he and Dr. Gryboski have known each other for years.

For O’Keefe’s part, he had said he would divulge the nature of that relationship once the grand jury spoke, but then reneged on the pledge by refusing to answer any questions on the now-closed case, instead pointing to his press release as the final word on the matter.

Here, then, is the relevant passage as quoted directly from the DA’s press release (with the entire text available on his website):

"She fired once, he continued to advance, she fired again, striking him twice in the torso.""As the [unnamed] son began to back into the kitchen, Dr. Gryboski took her gun from her purse which was on the floor. She told her husband to stop. He taunted her and began to move toward her saying, ‘You're so dead, you don't know what you started.’ She fired once, he continued to advance, she fired again, striking him twice in the torso."

What’s it matter how many times she shot him? I suppose, for anyone who subscribes to the theory that Lancaster was abusive and deserved to die, it doesn’t matter at all. But then why not say it was once, twice, three times...or more? Why write around it?

There is one piece of paper, which we obtained yesterday, that does reflect the public record and at the same time fails to answer the questions regarding how many shooters and how many shots.

At line No. 34 on the death certificate filed on April 13 in Barnstable Town Hall, in the space for MANNER OF DEATH, the box checked was Homicide, as opposed to Natural, Accident, Suicide, Could Not Be Determined, or Pending Investigation.

Boom... boom... boom... BOOM !
At line 35d, DESCRIBE HOW INJURY OCCURRED, Medical Examiner Dr. Faryl Sandler typed in, "Shot By Other(s).

In the space marked CAUSE OF DEATH, Dr. Sandler wrote: "Gunshot Wounds To The Torso With Perforation Of Lung[,] Liver, Diaphragm And Illiac [sic] Artery."

I asked her this morning if that meant four shots, four holes, four wounds, and the doctor stuck to her no-comment position, saying she is not allowed to speak with reporters about any case.

Thus, even if we buy into the official narrative – as crafted by O’Keefe and Gryboski, along with her attorney Kevin Reddington -- what remains unanswered, then, is how many people fired the gun, how many shots were fired, and how many of the bullets hit Lancaster.

gryboski100_100_01O’Keefe had a pre-existing relationship with the doctor, his former neighbor.According to every single person contacted for the story, including Reddington, the Barnstable police and the three officials of the state medical examiner’s office, the only person who can speak on the record here is O’Keefe himself, who has steadfastly refused comment ever since the rumor surfaced that O’Keefe had a pre-existing relationship with the doctor, his former neighbor.

As incendiary as that aspect of the Lancaster shooting may be, the fires of public curiosity have been fanned in many directions, post-mortem.

  • First, O’Keefe immediately held a press conference in which he announced the shooting could be excused as the result of mitigating circumstances.
  • Second, several residents of the neighborhood around Coach Lane in Barnstable where Gryboski continues to live complained to this reporter that they had not been interviewed by police or asked to appear before the grand jury despite having reached out to police to share their stories as long-time witnesses of the Gryboski-Lancaster family dynamic.
  • Third, O’Keefe has dodged all attempts to address the suggestion that he and the doctor were friends, in which case the probe should have been handled by another office, as with the Worthington murder investigation in which O’Keefe’s intemperate, pre-trial remarks to an author with a book contract led to a temporary power-sharing agreement with the Plymouth County district attorney’s office, as Barnstable County’s quasi-Hall Monitor.

Meanwhile, the doctor/shooter volunteered her license to practice, asked for it back and has yet to receive a green light from the state, or even a date for a hearing.

Cape Cod where you can’t tell the good guys from the bad
Which brings us to today, just another day on Cape Cod, another day in which you can’t tell the good guys from the bad because the good guys keep making it so easy to confuse the two.

One man is dead from an unknown number of bullets and unknown number of shooters. His son remains free and completely anonymous as a matter of public record. His widow remains free and completely unable to practice medicine. And the man who holds the key to understanding how all this came to pass is in no position to comment, because there is nothing he can say that will do him any good.

Well now....sounds like a familiar response doesn't it? Censorship reigns once again for the DA. Another case sealed perhaps? Just like John Reine's confession.

More of that "suppression of evidence"? How history does repeat itself over and over again within this DA's office. The pattern is crystal clear. So the ME checked off "Homicide" as cause of death, that's interesting. And if you connect the dots via human anatomy it appears that lung, liver, diaphram & illiac artery could have been ruptured by more than two bullets.

Guess this is just another cold case file, Jeff. They sure are stacking up.

You would have shot him 10 times for his abuse? Well I don't doubt that, & the Grand Jury and DA would have condoned you as well.

"He was a clamdigger married to a doctor, who had no respect for her."--

Yes! True, but there is a thing called JUSTICE & DUE PROCESS of the LAW-- is quite obvious, the doc got to skate from all of it courtesy of your DA.

"And McGowen is a big, sweet blubbering BBB in prison."--that is a racist remark. You are proving our point of the Cape being mostly "lily white" & within some of your branches of Law Enforcement.

"Examine the DAs office budget, how many cases they have to try every year, with not enough resources."--Maybe he could donate some of his campaign money instead of lavishing his donors with expensive lunches & golf memorabilia! That is the lamest excust of them all! Cut back on the 90k + they pay LE.

"The revolving prison doors of CC & why.

Some people need killing, and sometimes it takes more than one bullet.

Sometimes the person doing the needed killing is one of bitter's sainted working class women, and sometimes it's a physician.

People who are DA's have at least a law degree and are usually smart, ambitious, and hardworking, and tend to rub shoulders with movers and shakers in the community, not with quahoggers.

Not out of snobbery, but this is just a reality. Professionals tend to fraternize with professionals.

Where others see a conspiracy, I see reality: a woman defending herself against a total and complete monster, and a DA who happened to be acquainted with her socially not pressing charges.

The world is a better place for his having been removed from it. Someone was going to to die--him or her. I'm glad it was him and not her.

bittersweet,

Were you really a victim of domestic violence and rape? Why should we take your word for it? What's your husbands side of the story? Maybe it was consensual? Maybe your story is just a coverup for some cop you were having an affair with? Was there a dark pickup truck seen leaving your driveway? Did LE overlook some evidence when investigating your claim? Did you try to get away? Why would you have stayed with this guy if you knew he was capable of the violence? Was he charged with rape? Was he having a fling with an assistant DA so charges were never brought forward?

Just thought I'd ask the type of questions you'd ask of a victim.

And here's for you Buzz...the police didn't believe that a woman could be raped by her husband,wouldn't do anything about abuse unless they saw it happen. This was back in 85-87. So,the horror me and my kids went through was pretty much sanctioned by the "men in charge".
Glad to see that it's changed around so much now that you are free to defend yourself againt an abuser. Just wish it held true for all of us, not just the chosen few.

And no, as if you never heard me before....I am bashing LE because I believe they set up an innocent man for murder.
And so as not to stray too from this "thread",as you and 44 get so uppity about,
There are two sides to every story.
This man did not get his story out, as he is dead. But, his brother did manage to give an interview, and paints quite a different picture of the Doctor...not that you would give him any credit- he's just the victim's brother, and he just knew them both personally.
But unfortunatwly for him and his family, the DA knows the Doctor personally, and so this man will get no justice for him and his family....
But hey...friends help friends out. Drunk driving? Drive him home and look the other way.
Kill your husband, not to worry!

Thr Grand Jury liked the Doctor because of the favorable witnesses who came forward to defend her. Sorry, that is not "fact" of anything,it is "opinion".
Just as the "fact" that McCowen had sex with CM was no "proof" of anything other than that. It was the jury's "opinion" that he raped and murdered her.

The Grand Jury didn't know this woman's alleged past, & friendship with the DA. Why didn't the police interview her neighbors? That's what good police work is all about. Getting to the truth, allowing witnesses to come forward. Not the case when it comes to the DA. He gets to do whatever he wants, answers to no one. Like the Boston lawyer said, "that DA's office convict the innocent who are not from local families or who have $$$ to bail themselves out of a jam".....was he ever right! And the DA never heard of FREEDOM OF SPEECH either...since the journalists of the Cape, except for Jeff & Marilyn Miller (although Truro never let her get too far) the rest are not allowed to print the truth, just the DA's version, that is if you can even get the guy to talk.

Organized crime has infiltrated your wonderful branches of law enforcement.

All one has to do is read "Brothers Bulger" to know this is a fact.

Why not take it like a dog & deal with it.

Innocent people are put in jail, so friends of law enforcement & organized crime can get away.

That is the simple truth, nothing complicated about it. What is complicated is living with the fact that you can't even trust law enforcement anymore.

Christa's death was a "hit", in my opinion. The why's & who's may never surface because of political reasons & who she was--a blueblood who slept with a black trashman. The island can't ever admit that.

Some of the people involved in this case who were brought up by the defense attorney, those working for the moving company were connected to organized crime.

There it is, now go find the killers & bring them to justice.

Christa will never be at peace until that day arrives.

You all go live with what happened to her on your island. That fact will never go away. If this had a Boston connection, it also had one on the Cape.

During the case, we find out that CM became a drug informant for the Wellfleet officer who was assigned to the Drug Task Force. So, why would CM leave if he was a drug informant? This is probably how the set up began. He was arrested, then turned into an informant to avoid jail time since he was on probation. He was cooperating with the police who he believed he could trust. That was his first mistake. IMO

Looking back, this case has been riddled with series of events leading to nothing but chaos and confusion. It's what we have learned that make us think about what we haven't learned.

This murder only spells one thing--COVER UP.

And I still believe that some didn't like the fact that CM was sleeping with a blueblood, or other white women during his trash runs. Small towns--territorial & closed communities.

There are people on another site who actually say "It is not possible that she would sleep with him, just not possible." "Are you saying she would not shower after sleeping with a garbage man? Icky." "A woman with her standing would not sleep with a black garbage man." etc., etc.
As if they would know!
How do they know?
One person even called Chris a "loathsome creature." Loathsome creature....who talks like that?
It's unbelievable, and disturbing as hell too.
The only other time I've seen an attitude like that was a long time ago in Tennessee...makes me think of that statement of the Wellfleet police officer...worse than down South.
I feel like I'm living in a time warp...and no-one see's anything wrong!
....That's not true really, and everyone is not that way. It's just been so disturbing to see this antiquated attitude still alive and well.
I think shrinks call it a superiority complex.

bittersweet,

Just like the tradesmen don't sleep with the lonely second-home wife of Truro who vacations while hubby is away on business or screwing his 20+ something while he dumps the kids & "not so fresh" wife on the bluffs. But those stories you won't hear because some of the locals are doing it & cops, too. But when CM becomes "a man in motion" by the white sophisticated women who decide they want to take a walk on the wild side then it's, "oh! never!...not a black trashman", but a white painter, carpenter, fisherman, cop......so what is the difference if we are talking about class? NO, it's race they are talking about, but yet they won't admit it because that would define who they really are--LILLY WHITE racist sh*theads....the better than thou crowd who sit in the first row of the holy church for hypocrites only....please, no one is buying their bull anymore & it shows from what is going on down there. I've never seen so many crimes printed in the news. Did they suddenly hire some real journalists? Or are the majority of hard working Cape Codders finally speaking out?

crusader,

I have no sympathy for the guys that killed the dog. According to the newspaper, at least one of them will be serving time. They were tried by a jury and by a very competent judge who, many years ago was the wife of the current DA. She was an assistant DA for many years before becoming a judge. From what I know, she is highly regarded. Do you have information that she may have swayed the jury or given the men a lesser sentence because she was once married to the DA? Also, the suspects in the case did present a defense. Their claim was that the dogs were vicious and had attacked them, one of their mothers and dogs in the neighborhood. Does that make it right what they had done? Maybe not, but it does create a motive for the jury to think about. Unlike you, who just assume that it's one great big cover-up.

When the convicted murder CM "laid the boot to her" and she "took a walk on the wild side", did he have sex with her in the hallway where she just happened to be found DEAD? She still had the black trashman's DNA on her breast.

Buzz,

She had sex with him on Thurs., just the day prior. Sometimes people don't shower everyday, it can happen, especially when you are chasing an active toddler around.

The point IS--there are at least two witnesses that can be connected to the MOB in this story--one is DM and the other is JH--both of SOMERVILLE! And you know what? I get to talk about it because I live in the town--just like you and others who don't like it when I talk about the Cape--but the difference is I don't care what you say about Somerville. It has its history of criminals--so does the Cape!

I hate to clue you in, but the black trash man was set up for the murder of Christa Worthington and a cop who was in charge of evidence in Truro also got to skip out on court the last day before deliberations! This guy was one of her last boyfriend's who also didn't have to submit his DNA! But that's okay...because we all know who wears BLACK BOOTS--it's the cops!

Why would a guy from Wellfleet who has lived there his whole life say, "it was the cops, & they trashed her place afterwards."

As far as the guys who pumped over 37+ bullets into those dogs--there is just no excuse I can see and again we see the same thing--favoritism to relatives & friends of law enforcement.

If the dogs were locked in the trunk, why didn't they call their buddies at the station.

This story is sick--cruelty to animals to an extreme.

I just thought it was a coincidence that the DA's ex-wife got to preside over this case. You got it all wrapped up down there on the Cape. There is no fair system of justice, it's the ole boy network protecting their own. Face it.

Since you keep referencing Mason's written statement as the truth, then you must believe that Frazier is the real killer.
Not only that, but you, who don't believe she would have sex with him at all, are now saying you believe CM and JF showed up at her door for "some a$$", she let them in, and had sex with CM while JF was going though her stuff...aLL the while her daughter is there.
That is what Mason's report says.

So, if it's so true, then what are we arguing for?
Go arrest Frazier for murder!

Ps; Her body was found that way...we don't know how it got there....seems rather strange that with a 200 pd man, you would have sex in such an uncomfortable manner. (thanks groovy!)
An hold on, didn't Mason say that they had sex in the living room? Or were they in another room while Frazier was busy going through her stuff?
Or was it on the stairway that they had sex?
Pretty wild, for a woman who would never have sex with him in the first place.

You want me to name names so your rogues can go after these people who spoke to me, right? No dice. I really don't give a sh*t if you don't believe me, but I will give you this--

BG stated an ex-con named David Murphy of Somerville who also worked for MMovers w/Jeremy Frazier, both shared a cell phone that was traced to SYMSP on the night in question 12 midnight--25 calls made, his pager going off--so what was that? Just a friendly midnight chat? No, I think it was, a "checkin" call--"we got the job done"....in my opinion. Maybe they drugged her, beat her up to look like a robbery...many layers to throw PI's off the scent of the trail. There is another key player, also connected to MMovers who BG mentioned at trial, he's connected to Winter Hill Gang of yester-year--you remember don't you buzz? You use to bring it up all the time!

David Murphy was convicted of murder (decapitation/severing hands of a young man 21yr.old) along w/someone else, at the Holiday Inn, Charlestown/Som. line, a known mob hang out, served 10 yrs, got out six months before Christa's death.

Buzz,

It's also a coincidence that Shirley Reine's murder was noted by law enforcement as a "professional hit". Her step son just happened to visit an ex-con murderer, in jail, again just days within her murder. They were seen at the 99 in Falmouth. Go read, "Murder she wrought" by Michele McPhee. I see a patern in the way these women were both killed. They don't have the balls to kill these women themselves, so they hire ex-cons killers to do it? Now the last step is connecting the BIG DOTS too the little dots. This murder was intentially multi-layered so that no one could find the real killers. Maybe the Cape element only covered it up. But I don't think so. Christa beat them at their own game, she was leaving town, someone made sure she didn't make it out the door. Time to take those blinders off--face it. Law enforcement, all the way up the chain covered up this crime, in my opinion. Either JF & DM did this, or just layed the groundwork for the real killer. There is probably one hellofa good reason her family was happy to see the black garbage man sent away & some locals.

I guess it's okay for a former assistant attorney general, who just happen to work next to "Bulger Country", had shacked up with a herion addicted prostitute, for many years....but his daughter couldn't have possibly slept with a black garbage man....

BG knows the world of LE inside & out seeing many were/are his clients, so are members of organized crime. He is lawyer. He defends who he wants, maybe he has he own reasons for taking this case. He believes CM is innocent. Maybe somebody wants the real murderers to fry.

The cop said, "they needed to contain the drug trafficking & her murder opened up a can of worms."

Read between the lines. The world of crime is just one big game of chess.

CM was their best pawn. I say bring down the evil king, but they may decide just to take out the middle game players instead. We'll have to see what happens.

Questions by HYANNIS NEWS- Lancaster

A local man is dead and Hyannis News has some questions (some of these are purposely in random order):

What actually caused the bruising to Ann Gryboski’s lip and eye? The defense paints one picture, but is it an accurate one?

Is the defendant, who is charged with murder, telling the truth about what drove her to pull the trigger last Easter Sunday? Did her statements change during the investigation?

Does Gryboski have a motive to not tell the truth?

Is Gryboski being treated for mental illness, depression, anxiety, or any other illness that may shed new light on her actions? Was Lancaster being treated for any illness that may shed light on his actions, whatever those actions may have been?

Why did Gryboski shoot her husband of almost thirty years? Was it the result of “self-defense,” “battered woman syndrome,” or was it premeditated murder... was the killing something Gryboski had been waiting to do for quite a while? Did she find last Easter Sunday to be an opportunity to settle a bad marriage once and for all?

Lancaster murder(hyannisnews)

Why did Gryboski have a license to carry guns? She told police one thing, but has anyone heard her make remarks about her using the license to obtain a weapon to protect herself from a specific threat?

Has anyone ever heard Gryboski talk about how she may have wanted Lancaster dead?

Has anyone ever heard Lancaster's son say he wanted his father killed?

Did Gryboski, a physician, have prior knowledge of the so-called “Battered Woman Syndrome” defense? Had she ever talked about that subject with any of her friends or patients?

What type of websites did Gryboski frequent?

Gryboski is a Doctor and mandated reporter; she knows the laws and resources available to domestic violence victims, why didn’t she call the police about her husband’s alleged abuse? If Lancaster was abusive to their sons, why didn’t she call the police for their sake? Did Gryboski ever report suspected abuse in her capacity as a physician? Did she ever council anyone to seek help for domestic abuse?

Did Gryboski have a lover? Did Lancaster have a lover?

Why are Lancaster’s friends not talking to the press at this time? Are they potential witnesses? Do they have evidence that will come forward at later date? Do they not trust the reporter they talked to that particular day? Are they thrown off by initial theories and wild speculation? Do they also have a story to tell?

Was Lancaster abusive? If so, was he so abusive that he deserved to die?

Was Gryboski ever abusive?

Has the son ever been abusive? Had he ever struck anyone in the face? Where was/ is the mother of the toddler?

Why did Gryboski wait to call 911 until after she fatally shot Lancaster?

How long had Lancaster’s body been dead on the living room floor prior to the arrival of police? What time was Lancaster actually shot? Are the shots from the same person holding the same weapon?

Is the physical evidence consistent with Gryboski firing the weapon? Could her son be responsible for discharging the weapon? Is it possible two people each fired one bullet from the same gun?

cont.

Did Gryboski know how her son would react when he saw the bruising on her face? Did she tell her son Lancaster caused the marks or did her son immediately assume?

What caused the couple to recently make their large house even larger by building on a significantly sized addition? Were Gryboski and Lancaster living in the same bedroom?

Did Gryboski ever consider divorcing her husband? Was Lancaster talking about divorcing her? The boys are both grown men in their twenties, why wasn’t divorce an option instead of killing? Who made more money? Who may have benefited financially from a divorce? How much was Gryboski worth? How much was Lancaster worth? Are there mitigating circumstances that would cause a divorce to be a particularly messy one in this case?

Do we know of actual problems reported to investigating officials (not rumors or gossip printed in the local “rag”) Was the relationship an unhappy one? If so, what kept a successful doctor with an abusive carpenter? Was the couple ever seen doing things together aside from walking the dogs?

It has been said that abuse victims love their abusers so much they sometimes don’t take action. Did Gryboski arm herself out of love? Did she pull the trigger out of love? Could she have dialed 911 prior to the shooting out of love?

Who trained Gryboski to shoot? Did she receive additional training? Did she always carry a handgun? How did she carry her gun? In her purse? Under a garment? Was she carrying a gun at home on Easter Sunday? Or did she have to go to a secure place, unlock the weapon, load it, bring it into the room before shooting? Where was the murder weapon prior to the shooting?

When she allegedly came upon her husband fighting with the son, did the husband see the gun? If he saw the gun why didn’t he stop? Why did he allegedly take a step toward her if she had a gun? Did he expect her to pull the trigger? Did she tell him to stop? Did she say anything before she pulled the trigger?

Did the son and father fight often? She works closely with patients in her practice, bruises are difficult to cover up… did anyone ever see anything? These questions could go on and on. And I find it important to ask as many questions as possible at this point in time. The media has jumped to many premature conclusions, and they may be right in every single one of them!

But I feel both Gryboski and Lancaster deserve an in-depth investigation and fair trial. By the way, if it is discovered that Lancaster deserved to die, his sentence has already been carried out (Massachusetts Capital Punishment justified by "Self-Defense" or perhaps "Battered Woman Syndrome?").

Since he also interviewed the ex-brother-in-law of Dr. G. & I'm betting that most of these questions were probably drawn by that intereview.

Why haven't these questions been answered? Someone mentioned it was probably the son who pulled the trigger. How much time between the shooting & when she called her pals on the force?

For anyone interested in the Hyannisnews.com website, the brother-in-laws interview is there. I suggest you read it. Nice to get two sides of a story.

Strange how the Medical Board hasn't renewed her licence if she is so Polly-Anna pure. If she's got a history of mental illness that has been exposed, don't think it's going to happen. Someone who use to work with her said, "her family thinks they are the Kennedy's"..I know another family like that.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH DR. GRYBOSKI’S BROTHER-IN-LAW: Raises new questions as to whether Dr. Ann Gryboski is a female version of O.J. Simpson as she played the contrived “Battered Woman” card

"A popular theory around town is that the son killed Lancaster in a rage over the incident involving his child. They believe Gryboski covered up for her son by having him hit her in the face a few times while waiting for Lancaster to bleed to death so he could not talk to the cops. She had a better chance of skating on the battered woman's defense than the son would on shooting his unarmed father in a fit of rage on Easter Sunday just days before his birthday. They presented a very tidy defense to the grand jury with no opposing testimony. Neighbors say they were not interviewed by the police, and this X brother in law says he was told he was not a credible witness because he had "an ax to grind" with the family. No fuss, no muss. Gryboski gambled and she won. Bet even she thought she'd at least go to trial."

Buzz,

I could have "made it" on Cape Cod. I chose not to. I could have sold my Som. home for a pretty fine price back in 99', I wanted to test the Cape & what I found there was not to my liking. I don't do well living among SNOBS, BIGOTS, PIRATES, PIMPS & CORRUPTION. I have too much class & compassion for my fellow human beings. I find more "healthy minds" in the city, where there are REAL JOBS & intellectual stimulation which I thrive. It was obvious that those who live there take from the second-home owner & give nothing back. You don't have that in the city.

Stop bringing it up. Stick to the topic. You people who have no good argument of these cases try to take cheap shots at those of us who will expose your subculture that pollutes the rest. You can't say anthing to me that will bother me in the least.

I thought the Cape was a nice place to live--turns out it's not. Those of you who have vested interests there will say anything to counter our well informed opninions, because you have to save your own ass. Those who did well, started 30-50 years ago, like Walter.

Buzz,

Why didn't Dr. Gryboski get a trial? Someone as innocent as her, one of means, upper-class professional lilly white, a pillar of the Hyannis community, adored by her elderly patients who had close relations with? How many of those patients got to decide her fate sitting on the Grand Jury? Any? Would be nice to have that answer. It was easy for the GJ to find her innocent since they didn't get to hear the otherside of the story. Who ever heard of shooting an unarmed man, (one recovering from hip surgery)and not even having to stand trial? That is unheard of, in most any place, but guess it's always good to have a friend in high places.

She should have had a trial. Then maybe some of us could agree with you. The fact remains she got out of it--that shows culpability.

I was not treated with much respect by the system, when dealing w/DV, always favored the abusive men, but times have changed--many women are getting killed. I would never resort to owning a gun. I took the high road--DIVORCE. People with $ don't like divorce, or disclosure. Divorce is easier than murder.

Where have you heard this "popular theory around town" and where did you hear that "people think she was covering up for her son".

I don't know which case is worse for his career--the doc or Christa. I don't understand how one DA can feel so differently about two women who in the public's eyes were obviously victims. I always thought a DA's job was to protect & defend victims & prosecute. Not happening.

If she has nothing to hide, why not allow the witnesses (her neighbors)to come forward?

There is more to this story too, just like Christa.

Why not go back and re-read, you might want to read the ex-brother-in-laws interview, too, just for starters.

Then again, you can't be swayed because you are one of those die hard loyalists to your DA.

That's okay. We all have our own opinions about the dealings of the DA's office.

It's unfair to any man who is killed without just cause in a domestic dispute. Mr. Lancaster had no weapon! Just like Mr. Carbone had no weapon! Just like Mr. McCowen had no weapon! It's the status quo on Cape Cod. People getting away with serious crimes-- those who have money, have connections, & are friends of your law enforcement & DA. I find it amusing each time someone comes along to ask questions they get threated with a law suit! Is that the way you get to continue covering up all these crimes on Cape Cod? No wonder you have NO JOURNALISTS on Cape Cod. The only ones with any guts do freelance for other papers. How many bullets went into Mr. Lancaster? Who's prints were on the gun? Was it only the doctor who fired or someone else? How long did the DA know the doc? How long before she called 911?

This was so easy, even a kid could have found it...it came from Jack Coleman's blog;
"Another witness to be called this week by the defense, Truro resident Girard Smith, is expected to describe seeing a black truck speeding from Worthington's driveway on Saturday Jan. 5, 2002, a day before her body was discovered. By then Worthington had been dead 24 to 36 hours, according to the medical examiner, making Jan. 5 the likely day that she was slain.

After Smith told police of the vehicle he saw, police searched motor vehicle records for all black trucks registered on the Cape, then narrowing the search to black trucks between Orleans and Provincetown with the numbers 16, 17 or 18 in the license plate, as Smith told police he saw. Among the dozens of trucks fitting that description was one owned by Matthew Frazier, Jeremy Frazier's uncle.

Also in Mason't cross-exam, he mentioned Keith Amato and Tony Jacket as having vehicles that fit the description.

But it's actually more concrete than that! Because if you listen to the ME Nields, who took over for Weiner, he had said that the EMT's who arrived at the scene at 4:30 pm on Sunday found her body in beginning rigor-mortis, meaning she had only been dead about 12 hrs. or so! By 8:00pm when Nields got there, she was in full rigor, usually a 24 hr. period after death. So you do the math...
4:30pm Sunday minus 12 hrs is 4:30 am Saturday. Or 8:00pm Sunday minus 24 hrs. is 8:00 pm Saturday.
She was not killed on Friday night.
The jury was asleep at the wheel.
And, where was the follow up on that driver? What was he doing there?
And the police showed Smith some picture of cars, and tried to get him to say the car he saw was red!

He reported this to police (Truro, I believe) on Jan. 11 (he had not been aware of CW's address until that day) - the Truro police were to pass this on to the STate police. Gerard heard nothing - until 3 weeks later when HE runs into Mason out on the road somewhere. Smith asks Mason about it and Mason has his report in the back seat of his car (basically being ignored). Nobody had ever contacted Smith for more details - and, at the time, Smith felt he would be able to identify the DRIVER (not the truck) if shown a photo. This was a sighting of a man leaving the driveway belonging to a woman who was MURDERED that weekend (they had no idea what time or day) - and THIS is how the police responded?? Very questionable, IMO."

I'm going to try this again, since it leaves me incredulous....
CW was in full rior-mortis at 8:00 pm Sunday.According to ME Weiner.
Even given the 36 hour lee-way on time of death, she could not have been killed before Saturday morning at 8:00 am.
That means the CONfession was just that--a con. A lie. Made up for public consumption, and the public bought it.
Chris did not kill anyone. He has been sitting in Walpole Prison so the DA's ofice,Welsh and the police could get their conviction.
It's a crime.
And they ignore a man leaving the scene on the same day she was killed?
This is correct police work?
More like corrupt police work.
And hey, just think of the mind that made all that stuff up...you want that guy carrying a gun?
It always did sound like a dime-store novel.
Dammn them! And damn you for making excuses for them!
Why don't YOU go sit in prison for a while...see how it feels.
This is a travesty of such huge proportions....somebody needs to set this right. And now.

It is quite apparent from the comments that (a) it is mid-winter on Cape Cod and (b) there is a shortage of zoloft at hand.

Jeff, your observation about four shots is consistent with what we all know -- just know -- is an immutable law of deadly force: only one organ per bullet.

When you're right, you're right: It was that last BOOM, not the boom, boom boom. Only one shot allowed for each decade of abuse.

How many decades does it take before it becomes her responsability to get her and her kids out of it?

Facts kept from yet another case manipulated by the DA? Neighbors wanted to come forward and were told not to by the DA, both family members were under strict orders not to talk to the press. How many times did she shoot him in the gut? Were AG & the DA neighbors? Some
claim they were. Yes, she had bruises but he had a walker and only holding a tape measure in his hand. She had options--DIVORCE & a career & powerful
daddy to help her out of a bad marriage & bad situation. No one deserves to die that way--abuse or not--he had NO WEAPON! NOT EVEN A TRIAL? Guess she really knows how to buffalo the unsupecting elderly who don't know the other side of AG as stated by family of Pat Lancaster who know her better. How long before the EMT's were called...how long did she wait? seconds, minutes, hours? Was it really the son, and she covered? What relationship does she have with Mr. towelman?Where they seen holding hands at a pub on lower Cape? Has he got career aspirations to be the next US attorney because the Cape is all used up. cont.

She's also done a complete makeover in looks...housefrow to blonde girly-friend...? No trial? Lancaster's brother was interviewed & told a different story. Pat Lancaster was working out of state four days a week...plenty of time for wifey to make new friends....more unanswered questions that won't get answered...the beautiful people can get away if they have the dough, the clout (daddy Gryboski & his friends) and a powerful DA. Shame on the Board of Medicine. That is the very least she should have
to pay with-- her license. But maybe CCH is now in trouble and also needs her, too. I'm totally against violence towards women--children, men, elderly--no one should tolerate abuse. It's up to our judicial system to sort it
out. I believe her and her husband were involved in a dysfunctional relationship. It takes two--she should have got out--plenty of women do. Her husband held no weapon. She had no trial. Something is wrong with
this picture. Anywhere else in America, the woman would do time--you know it & I know it. Class has a lot to do with this outcome & the DA enjoys his towels.

I think this sends a loud and clear message. She stood up to her abusive husband for the last time..... probably saved her own life doing so and is getting her life and career back. I wish upon no-one what she's been through.

Hey clamshelli,

Nurse Hatchet wants to know what you've done to make it better? Like some people in and out of this story haven't tried. The dead rat in Weinstein's boat reminds me of the horse's head in the bed. So many stories, and yet nothing gets done. Who are you going to complain to when it all falls on deaf ears.

I wonder if the doctor can sleep at night. And the DA who should have done the right thing and referred this case to Plymouth County were there could have been a fair trial--she doesn't have a practice there, and maybe his grip is not that far reaching. A trial at the very least. And if her husband was really shot 4 times--why? Was it a sticky trigger. Maybe if people found that out, they would question why it took so long for EMT's to arrive. What time did she call 911. Did the DA show up there first? Conflict of interest. Of course he knows her personally, she's a prominent doctor in Hyannis, they probably rub elbows w/same crowd. What did Lancaster know, that was going on with his wife? He was off Cape 4 days a week, plenty of time to make friends.

YES , I beleive if the doctor wasnt a friend Of The DA , she wouldve legally had to stand trial. Favoritism is not JUSTICE , The Court of LAW is where were all suppose to be EQUAL But That is not the case with the mayFlower MOB that Run Barnstable courts = Its all in who you know and how much money you have . They RUN that Court house Like the MOB , its Disgusting some of the things I have seen at probate. The Most IGNORANT SLOBS run that Courthouse.

Hey magician,

Always seem to be lots of unanswered questions when the DA is involved.
Do you think if this happens to Doris at the donut shop who makes 6 bucks an hour, who the DA wouldn't ask the time of day, decides to take out her sawed off shotgun, blow her husband away for 20 yrs. of abuse, the DA will feel compassion & get her off the hook? How many victimized women who killed their abusers are doing hard time in prison? Maybe Annie bang-bang can start a fund for those women in jail who didn't get the same courtesy by grand juries or jury panels across America. How about she donate some money to Victims of Violence, build a quality facility on Cape Cod, next to her practice, better than that broken down shack they call the Independence HO-BO House--the place looks like it should be condemned. Guess they care so much about abused women, the DA & doc can't put a community together & help the other thousands of women on Cape Cod fleeing from their abusers...oh, that's right, it only matters when it's the beautiful people who get in trouble..silly me, what was I thinking.

If that poor young mom down in Truro had a gun, she'd be enjoying a muffin herself today. Albeit, it would have needed to be a bigger gun than "Doc Holiday" used:)

About This Blog

Samizdat (Russian: самиздат) was the clandestine copying and distribution of government-suppressed literature or other media in Soviet-bloc countries. Copies were made a few at a time, and those who received a copy would be expected to make more copies. This was often done by handwriting or typing. (Credit; wikipedia)
