HyannisNews.com - Local News from Hyannis Cape Cod, MA

These are old comments and here it is almost coming up to a year of Pat's death. What happened is just tearing at our family's hearts ....I for one was not asked to the gj guess why ....because when the da's dect came to me I was ready to defend my brothers life.. but no they ( the da's office) asked the other siblings but not me.. We had a feeling from the begining that Pat's best interest was not being shown to the public. You should read the obit again. He was murded by Ann....I would like to see all the data that they collected is that possible!!!

Something is very wrong here--I think the wife and son got away with murder. I can't believe that a big young boy like the son could not protect himself aganist a 50 year old smaller man recovering from surgery. This is just plain out murder. I think 48 Hours should investigate this one. I would hate to live in this town and state where there is no investigation at all--murderers are allowed to go free if they have money and position. This is a disgrace.

WHO WAS CHOSEN TO TESTIFY BEFORE THE GRAND JURY? PEOPLE ASSUME BECAUSE THE GRAND JURY DID NOT INDICT HER THAT THEY WERE GIVEN ALL OF THE FACTS. HOW MANY PEOPLE SPOKE ON LANCASTER'S BEHALF OF THE 27 PEOPLE. DID HIS DOCTOR TESTIFY? WAS IT BALANCED? DID FORENSICS SUPPORT HER CLAIM?

I am not a resident of Your fine state, I am a resident of Colorado. The reason I am writing this is to add a perspective to this case that no one, and I mean no one associated with this case, wants to deal with. As I stated, I live in Colorado, a place that Pat Lancaster came to hunt Elk many years. You see I was his brother-in-law for 17 years. I divorced Ann Grybosky's younger sister in 1999 because I could not put up with the dominating personality of my ex-wife. My ex-wife, had a gift when it came to getting her way. If she did not get her way then there was any number of problems she would start. After 17 years of being the "Black Sheep" of the family, the one who owned guns, taught my kids to shoot, and would actually eat venison and Elk, I divorced and moved to Colorado, the state I grew up in. In the 17 years I was exposed to the Gryboski family, every female member has the same talent for manipulation, including the mother. The father is a very nice man and had a very successful medical practice in Boston, I like him very much still. I believe the shooting of Pat was calculated and performed in cold blood. Pat was a very forceful man with his voice, I have never seen him touch his wife. I have however seen the oldest child go at his mother in the past and Pat stepped in. I was continually chastized for owning weapons and teaching my children the proper use of them. It was even mentioned that either Pat or I would harm our wives. It didn't happen that way, I moved away from a bad situation and Pat paid for staying in a bad situation with his life! I can not begin to understand the reasoning for not taking this case to trial, I am so glad I live in a state other than Massachussetts. I am totally convinced Ann Gryboski shot her husband in cold blood and had her son hit her to make her story stick. We will never know since the case is not getting to go to trial, and Pat Lancaster is still dead.

I have to agree, I am a woman who was married to an abuser for 16 years. This case should have gone to trial, she murdered her husband, he had no gun or weapon. How long did it take for the police to arrive and why was the family told not to speak to anyone other than police or DA? What is the relationship between the DA and Mrs. Gryboski? Where they friends or more? It makes a difference in a court of law. Who were the members of the GJ---patients and co-workers? And yes, a man (Chris McCowen) is in prison for a crime many of us believe he did not committ, so I ask you---Where is the justice? I just hope that if a woman is really in a life threatning situation with a partner again on the Cape, she is treated with the same consideration. The doctor is ready to go back to work, ready to make $$$ for CCHospital and care to her 2000+ because no one can carry her load. Just after 4 months of killing her husband of 20+ years? Something wrong here. Her neighbors--what do they say? I'm the first one to defend a woman who is abused, but this outcome is wrong. There will be a backlash. People may not speak out, but I don't think many are in favor of this outcome. She should have at least gone to trial and lost her medical license. There are other things she could do--community service. This is not a woman of no means. The law should apply to everyone--not in this case.
