A Colorado dentist, James Craig, accused of spiking his wife’s protein shakes with poison, now faces additional charges of solicitation to commit murder and solicitation to commit perjury. The new charges come as Craig’s attorney withdrew from the case, citing conflicts and concerns about criminal behavior by the client. Angela Craig, the victim, died from cyanide and tetrahydrozoline poisoning, found in over-the-counter eyedrops. James Craig had multiple affairs, and online searches suggested he was looking for ways to make murder look like a heart attack and for detecting arsenic in an autopsy. Despite the strained relationship between the couple and Angela’s desire to leave her husband, James Craig’s attorneys argue that there is no direct evidence linking him to the poisoning. The case highlights a tragic and disturbing incident of alleged poisoning within a troubled marriage, with unresolved questions about the guilt of the accused.
