Colorado Dentist Sentenced Life Prison Poisoning Wife

News summary

James Craig, a Colorado dentist, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after being convicted of first-degree murder for methodically poisoning his wife, Angela Craig, over a period of more than 10 days in March 2023. Prosecutors presented evidence that Craig laced her protein shakes with poisons including arsenic, cyanide, and tetrahydrozoline, culminating in a fatal cyanide injection while she was hospitalized. Toxicology reports confirmed the multiple poisonings which resulted in Angela being declared brain dead. The jury rejected Craig's defense claim that he was assisting his wife in suicide following his desire for a divorce amid extramarital affairs. In addition to the murder conviction, Craig was found guilty of soliciting others to fabricate evidence and to kill the lead investigator of the case, leading to additional lengthy sentences. Emotional testimony from Angela’s family highlighted the deep personal loss and betrayal they experienced, with one daughter describing Craig as a villain rather than a hero.
