A Colorado dentist, James Craig, who is accused of murdering his wife by poisoning her protein shake, is now facing two additional felony charges. These charges include solicitation to commit first-degree murder, as revealed in a court filing by prosecutors with the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office. The new charges stem from an alleged plot by Craig to kill an Aurora police detective who investigated the case.
According to the complaint, Craig attempted to convince a fellow inmate to carry out the murder. While the document does not disclose the intended target, Aurora police confirmed that it was one of the detectives involved in the investigation. Craig had previously pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and other charges related to the death of his wife, Angela Craig.
