New Legal Troubles for Colorado Dentist Accused of Spousal Poisoning
Recent Developments in the James Toliver Craig Case
James Toliver Craig, a dentist from Colorado, has recently encountered fresh legal challenges as he is now facing two additional charges: solicitation to commit first-degree murder and solicitation to commit first-degree perjury. This announcement was made by the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office through social media. Previously, Craig had been indicted for first-degree murder related to his wife’s death and had entered a plea of not guilty.
In another update, the district attorney’s office indicated that Craig opted not to represent himself during the proceedings. Consequently, despite objections from the prosecution, the judge postponed the trial.
Trial Delays Amidst Representation Issues
Craig’s legal team withdrew on November 21—coinciding with the initially scheduled start date of his trial—citing “professional conflict and other reasons,” as reported by CBS News and NBC News. As a result, this sudden withdrawal has caused further delays in legal proceedings against him.

According to an arrest affidavit released by police in Aurora, James Craig was taken into custody in March 2023 after allegedly administering lethal substances—potassium cyanide and arsenic—to his wife Angela via her pre-workout shake starting on March 6. Witnesses state that Angela began experiencing symptoms such as dizziness and faintness before being admitted to a hospital. Although she was discharged later that day, her health continued deteriorating until her untimely demise on March 15 at age 43.
An investigation revealed that prior to her death, it appeared that James had conducted searches for “undetectable poisons” online while also procuring sufficient quantities of potassium cyanide and arsenic—substances linked with symptoms similar to what Angela exhibited before passing away.
Evidence Points Toward Possible Infidelity
Authorities disclosed that communications between Craig and an orthodontist based in Austin pointed towards what seemed like an intimate relationship between them. Evidence suggested that while his wife lay gravely ill in a hospital bed due to suspected poisoning, he maintained contact with this woman.
Moreover, emails supposedly showed him informing her about Angela’s death; her replies included statements revealing discomfort over mingling with those mourning Angela while expressing empathy towards Craig’s situation without disclosing their own personal feelings for one another.
Background Context: Marital Strain Amid Serious Allegations
Sources close to Angela have recounted ongoing marital discord between her and James over several years. Allegations surfaced suggesting infidelity on his part along with previous incidents where he allegedly attempted poison against her life outrightly documented within official reports.
The forthcoming hearing related to these serious allegations is slated for December 16 according to information from the district attorney’s office.
