Trial Delayed for Dentist Accused of Murder

The murder trial of Colorado dentist James Craig has been postponed after his defense attorney withdrew abruptly on the day jury selection was set to begin. Craig is accused of poisoning his wife, Angela Craig, with cyanide and tetrahydrozoline, leading to her death in March 2023. The attorney cited conflicts over Craig's insistence on actions he deemed unethical, prompting the judge to delay the trial, with a new hearing scheduled for December 16. Investigators allege that Craig had been having an affair, faced financial troubles, and conducted online searches related to poisoning prior to his wife's death. Angela Craig, a mother of six, exhibited signs of poisoning before her hospitalization and eventual death. The case reflects a complex narrative of betrayal and alleged premeditated murder amidst a troubled marriage.
