Colorado Dentist Gets Life Sentence For Poisoning Wife

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) — A Colorado dentist has been convicted of murder in the poisoning death of his wife and sentenced to life in prison without possible parole. Jurors found James Craig guilty of first-degree murder on Wednesday. Prosecutors had accused Craig of repeatedly poisoning his wife Angela Craig, including by lacing her smoothies, over 10 days in 2023. When those attempts failed, prosecutors said, James Craig gave her a final dose of cyanide as she was hospitalized in suburban Denver. Craig stood in a hushed courtroom as the jury delivered guilty verdicts on murder and other charges. Afterward, the court heard emotional statements from the victim’s relatives before the judge sentenced Craig to life in prison.
