Colorado Dentist Faces New Charges for Soliciting Detective Murder Following Wife's Poisoning

James Craig, a Colorado dentist charged with the murder of his wife, Angela Craig, is now facing additional allegations of soliciting murder against a detective investigating his case. Prosecutors claim that Craig attempted to hire a fellow inmate to kill Detective Bobbi Jo Olson and others as part of a broader conspiracy to discredit the investigation into his wife's poisoning, which occurred in March 2023. Angela's death was attributed to cyanide and tetrahydrozoline, and Craig had previously ordered potassium cyanide under false pretenses. The court is set to hear evidence regarding these new charges, which include solicitation to commit murder and perjury, as Craig's trial continues to be delayed. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and the couple had six children together at the time of Angela's death. The case has garnered significant media attention due to its serious nature and the allegations of witness tampering.
