US EditionCyanide, an affair, and a jailhouse murder plot: The case against a Colorado dentist accused of poisoning his wife
AURORA, COLORADO, JUL 10 – James Craig faces six charges including first-degree murder after his wife died from poisons reportedly mixed into her protein shakes, according to a 52-page arrest affidavit.
- The process of selecting jurors will commence on Thursday, July 10, 2025, for the trial of former Aurora dentist James Craig, who faces charges of fatally poisoning his wife, Angela Craig, in Aurora, Colorado.
- Angela Craig became severely ill after drinking protein shakes and sought medical care on multiple occasions within a 10-day period before dying on March 1, 2023, from fatal cyanide and tetrahydrozoline poisoning.
- Investigators found Craig used a secret email and his office computer to order poisons and uncovered sexually explicit emails revealing an affair during his wife's hospitalizations.
- Craig has been indicted on six felony counts, such as first-degree murder and multiple solicitation offenses related to tampering with evidence, perjury, and murder. Prosecutors claim he attempted to orchestrate several killings from jail, but he has entered a plea of not guilty and could face life imprisonment without parole if found guilty.
- The trial, expected to last three weeks through August 1, will examine extensive evidence including letters, witness accounts, and text messages, with defense attorneys not immediately commenting before the case.
