Prosecutors in the James Craig case said his wife Angela's autopsy showed she had arsenic in her system when she died in March.
In June 2023, the 18th Judicial District Attorney's Office charged James Craig with one felony count of solicitation to commit tampering with physical evidence. Prosecutors said Craig tried to persuade a family member to tamper with evidence starting the day before Aurora Police arrested him. Court document say he continued to do this for almost two weeks while in county jail.
On Wednesday, the district attorney's filed a second count of solicitation to commit tampering with physical evidence. An amended complaint claims Craig committed this crime for months while in county jail. It doesn't share the name of the person Craig is accused of trying to persuade. Court documents say he committed this crime from March 18, 2023 – the day before his arrest – until June 15, 2023.
More details about the new charge will come out in court when an endorsed witness is called to testify. Craig's next court appearance is a motions hearing on April 16, and he's scheduled to go to trial in August.Angela Craig died March 1, 2023, after ingesting lethal doses of cyanide and tetrahydrozoline, an ingredient commonly found in Visine, according to an autopsy report from the Arapahoe County Coroner's Office.
The affidavit says James Craig used an office computer to research and buy"undetectable poisons," and he bought crystalline metalloid arsenic from Amazon a few weeks before his wife's death. Five days before her death, the document says, James Craig received a package at his office that was opened by an office attendant who found a biohazard sticker and a circular canister that said"potassium cyanide" on it.
According to the affidavit, James Craig's business partner told a nurse he believed Angela Craig had been poisoned because her husband had recently ordered potassium cyanide for their dental practice. That resulted in an investigation into her death.
