Colorado Dentist Charged with Wife's Murder

James Craig, a Colorado dentist accused of poisoning his wife Angela, faces new charges of solicitation to commit first-degree murder and perjury after his attorney withdrew from the case due to a professional conflict. The withdrawal delayed Craig's trial, which was set to begin on November 21, 2024, as his attorney cited concerns about Craig's alleged criminal actions and fundamental disagreements with him. Angela Craig, a mother of six, died in March 2023 from poisoning involving cyanide and tetrahydrozoline, with evidence suggesting Craig had researched undetectable poisons and purchased potassium cyanide and arsenic. The couple's troubled marriage reportedly included multiple affairs, and Craig's online search history raised suspicions about his intentions. Craig has pleaded not guilty to the initial charges of first-degree murder and solicitation to tamper with evidence, with his next court appearance scheduled for December 16. This case highlights the complexities of domestic relationships marred by betrayal and criminal allegations.
