Colorado Dentist Charged in Wife's Murder

Colorado dentist James Craig, accused of poisoning his wife Angela's protein shakes with cyanide, faces additional charges of solicitation to commit perjury after allegedly attempting to manipulate evidence to suggest her death was a suicide. Craig, who pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, reportedly tried to involve a former inmate in fabricating suicide notes and persuading women to testify falsely about affairs to motive Angela's supposed suicide. His defense attorney, Harvey Steinberg, withdrew during jury selection, citing conflicts related to potential criminal conduct by Craig. The trial has been postponed to allow Craig time to secure new legal representation. Angela Craig died in March 2023, and authorities have detailed her symptoms of severe headaches and eventual brain death from poisoning. Craig's online searches purportedly included inquiries on disguising murder as a heart attack, further implicating his intent.
