Colorado dentist convicted of murder after poisoning wife’s protein shakes

A Colorado jury convicted dentist James Craig of first-degree murder for fatally poisoning his wife, Angela Craig, in March 2023 by lacing her protein shakes with cyanide and other substances.

Prosecutors said Craig wanted out of the marriage but avoided divorce to protect his money and image.

He was also found guilty of trying to cover up the crime, including asking others to fake evidence and attempting to frame his wife.

Craig did not testify during the trial, and his defense claimed Angela may have taken her own life, The Guardian has reported.

He now faces life in prison.
