The prosecution stated in the trial that James Craig poisoned his wife, Angela Craig, over 10 days in March 2023.
After the failure of these attempts, the dentist administered a final dose of cyanide to his wife while she was hospitalized in a Denver suburb with symptoms that puzzled doctors. Shortly after, she was declared brain dead.
Their daughter and the victim's sister testified in the trial, deeply affected and hurt by James Craig's actions, and supported by their closest family members.
