Dentist in Colorado Accused of Poisoning Wife’s Protein Shakes Now Confronted with Additional Charges

A Colorado dentist, James Craig, faces new charges including solicitation to commit murder and perjury in the killing of his wife, Angela Craig, who died from cyanide poisoning in March. His attorney withdrew from the case on the day jury selection was set to begin, citing professional conflict and concerns about the client’s actions. James was accused of having an affair and searching online for ways to make murder look like a heart attack. Angela had expressed a desire to leave James due to his infidelity, and she died after being poisoned with cyanide and tetrahydrozoline found in eyedrops. At a preliminary hearing, prosecutors presented evidence of James’ suspicious behavior, but his lawyers argued there was no direct evidence linking him to his wife’s death. The couple’s marriage had been strained for years, with James having multiple affairs and Angela wanting to leave him. Angela had gone to the hospital with severe symptoms before her death, and she was placed on life support before passing away. It is unclear if James has a new attorney and how he will proceed with his defense in light of the new charges brought against him.
