"An Irvine woman already accused of intentionally putting Drano in her husband's drink in 2022 is now also facing attempted poisoning charges in a new grand jury indictment that was unsealed on Thursday, Jan. 8. Dr. Yue Emily Yu, who worked as a dermatologist in Mission Viejo, is alleged to have poisoned her husband's tea while the couple was in the midst of a contentious divorce and child custody battle. Yu has previously denied the allegations."
"The new indictment the second handed down by an Orange County grand jury in connection with the case formally adds three attempted poisoning charges while keeping the previous poisoning charges and a domestic battery with corporal injury charge. The suspected poisonings and attempted poisonings are alleged to have happened on the same days July 11, July 18 and July 25 in 2022."
"Yu's husband said he noticed a strange taste in his tea beginning in April 2022 and, believing his wife was putting something in his drinks, installed a pair of video cameras. The resulting footage and allegations were outlined in civil court documents and then in criminal charges. Yu's attorneys allege that her husband set her up to gain the upper hand in family court by telling Yu to put the Dano into the cup in order to kill ants."
A new Orange County grand jury indictment unsealed Jan. 8 adds three attempted-poisoning charges to existing poisoning and domestic battery allegations against Dr. Yue Emily Yu. The alleged poisonings and attempted poisonings occurred on July 11, July 18 and July 25, 2022. The husband reported a strange taste in his tea beginning in April 2022 and installed cameras that produced footage later cited in civil and criminal filings. Defense attorneys say the husband set up Yu by asking her to put Drano in a cup to kill ants. Prosecutors cited an unavailable witness and requested a trial delay.
