James Craig is accused of poisoning his wife's protein shakes
nearly two years ago, allegedly ordering a rush shipment of
potassium cyanide that he said he needed for a patient after
police say arsenic failed to kill her.
Late last year, prosecutors filed new charges against him:
solicitation to commit murder and solicitation to commit
perjury. The charging document did not say who Craig allegedly
wanted to have killed but police in Aurora, Colorado, have
confirmed the intended target of the alleged murder plot was a
detective on the case.
Prosecutors are scheduled to present more details about what
they believe happened during a hearing Friday afternoon in order
to convince a judge that Craig should also be prosecuted for
those charges during his trial.
Craig's trial has been delayed and no new date has been set yet.
Craig has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and
tampering with evidence. A telephone message left for Craig's
defense lawyers, Lisa Moses and Robert Werking, was not
immediately returned.
Angela Craig, 43, died in March 2023 of poisoning from cyanide
and tetrahydrozoline, the latter a substance found in
over-the-counter eye drops, according to the coroner. The couple
had been married for 23 years and had six children together.
