James Craig, a Colorado dentist, is on trial for allegedly poisoning his wife, Angela Craig, over a week in March 2023. Angela exhibited severe symptoms before being declared brain dead. Toxicology reports indicated poisoning with cyanide and tetrahydrozoline. Evidence suggests Craig purchased poisons online, possibly driven by financial issues and an affair. Prosecutors assert he intended to kill his wife for life insurance benefits and administered poison while she was hospitalized. Craig pleads not guilty to first-degree murder and related charges.
James Craig, 47, is accused of fatally poisoning Angela Craig, his wife of 23 years, over the course of more than a week in March 2023.
Toxicology tests later showed that the 43-year-old had been poisoned with cyanide and tetrahydrozoline, a substance found in over-the-counter eye drops and nasal sprays.
James has shown the planning and intent to end his wife's life by searching for ways to kill someone undetected, providing her poisons that align with her hospitalized symptoms.
Assistant District Attorney Ryan Brackley said Craig may have been motivated by the payout from his wife's life insurance, accusing him of giving her a final dose of poison.
