Colorado dentist accused of poisoning wife’s protein shakes is now facing additional charges

A Colorado dentist, James Craig, accused of spiking his wife’s protein shakes with poison faces new charges including solicitation to commit murder and perjury. The charges were brought forward shortly after his attorney withdrew from the case on the day jury selection was set to begin. The attorney mentioned a professional conflict and concerns over the client persisting in criminal behavior as reasons for stepping back. It is not clear if Craig has a new lawyer to represent him. James Craig’s wife, Angela Craig, died from cyanide and tetrahydrozoline poisoning after experiencing severe headaches and dizziness. Authorities found that James Craig had been involved in an affair and his online search history included phrases related to murder methods and autopsy detection of poison. The couple’s relationship had been strained for years, with Angela expressing a desire to leave her husband due to his infidelity. Despite the evidence presented, James Craig’s attorneys argued there was no direct proof linking him to the poisoning. The case brings to light a tragic story of betrayal and suspicion, with James Craig facing serious criminal charges linked to his wife’s death.
