"And things started to get hot and heavy between him and this girl he picked up. And he walked over to their car to actually ask for a condom..."

And like who is going to believe that?

Who is going to walk up to some strangers car and ask for a condom???

I''m glad I wasn''t the only one to notice that Dr. Stryker rarely blinked during his answers in this interview. That, taken with the tone and cadence of his voice, made me feel as though he was almost assuming another personality to deal with this situation, either by force of personality or through some other means (perhaps medicinal). Something just isn''t right at all.

I''ll give you 1 FACT, which contradict what District Attorney Gerry Leone said. It is disappointing to hear him LIE so blatantly on TV.

1) After Pizzano came forward as a witness, per the Tewsbury Police Arrest Status Report, Pizzano was arrested for his third drunk while driving on 06/23/2007.
Link: http://www.tewksburypd.org/Arrest%20Log/June%202007.pdf

Pizzano should have gone to jail for his third offense but he wasn%u2019t. Why? Because the District Attorney worked out a deal with Pizzano, in exchange for changing his testimony and saying that Dr. Stryker made up the story & recruited Pizzano by saying he''d give him money. Note that when convicted of a third offense you get a mandatory 150-day sentence and the judge may sentence you up to 5 years in prison. You license will be revoked for 8 years. This is per the police, see link at http://www.police.edgartown.ma.us/dwi2.htm

District Attorney says Pizzano volunteered to change his testimony. His incentive was to avoid going to jail. Why else would he have perjured himself? The D.A. also pardoned him for perjury.

Asked how District Attorney Leone knows when the guy (Craig Pizzano) is lying, Leone says, "Well, Craig, ultimately Craig will swear to tell the truth, and he''ll tell the truth. But, he''ll also in swearing to tell the truth tell the fact that he lied as well."

Are you going to believe someone who said that he lied, but now he''s telling the truth, and by the way, avoid jail?

yes i believe Pizzano lied, what other reason after 15 years would he have to all of the sudden come forward with a story that only benefited Dr. Striker? The proof is Dr. Striker (funny name isn't it)
was caught in his own lie when he said he didn't know him, phone records proved tht was a lie, so the house of cards Striker built fell on that one. As well as the most absurd fabricated story I have ever heard, "one car in the parking lot" and your going to pull up next to it to have sex, wouldn't you park far away from it if that was your plan? and then to interupt a stranger having sex to ask for a condom? huh? that is just the most ridiculous concocted load of crap, I wa screaming at the tv when I heard that!!! hey wright1233 if you believe that I have some swapland in florida for sale.
common! so what is the prosecutor made a deal to get hi roll over on the doc, that doc was never gonna willing pay out the money to the famiy, he is the coldest most evil person I hve ever seen, I got chills just watching him, the true victoms beside the dead Dr. are his children. Imagine having him for a father!!!

I was around when this happened and when I was referred to Dr Stryker I would not go I found another endocrinologist because I believed from the start he was guilty. His wife must live in another world because people really don''t change or perhaps she feels doing what she is told is best for her

I believe his actions are very suspicious, especially trying to get fake witnesses should be a big clue. It is strange his wife says he is never violent to her, I wonder how he could have changed so much, or if she is also lying or covering so her world doesn''t fall apart. I was in a domestic violence relationship, and I don''t believe the abuser can really change themselves even if they want to, without a serious change and intervention. maybe Stryker''s love for money is helping keep him calm enough (the only other option is continue rampaging and go to jail for murder)

I noticed he *did* blink rapidly a few times - when he was saying things like, "I did not kill her". IOW, at times when it looked like he was lying.

I''m guessing, based on what was aired, that there would have been little or no case if Linda''s belongings had not been found at Stryker''s house. He must have been quite confident that the murder couldn''t be pinned on him.

Fortunately, the perjury trial is coming up next year, and perhaps he''ll do some time after all.

I just watched this show, A COLD BLOODED PERSON, And I do believe he murdered his girlfriend. He had all of her belongings in his apartment. He has tried to get a witness after the Civil Case. He is a liar. Did you notice, he did not blink once during the interview. What drug did he take to keep from blinking. I have no idea why he was not charged initially with this crime, total incompetence of the police department. I do hope that he gets charged with murder in Criminal Court. Imagine going on a cruise when your fiance is being laid to rest, oh yeah, momma told him to go. Give me a break. Okay, maybe I''m overreacting.
