(Photo via Facebook) The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office wants to file a new charge of solicitation to commit murder against an Aurora dentist accused of fatally poisoning his wife, officials announced Friday, one day after the man’s murder trial was delayed because his attorney abruptly quit. James Craig, 46, was charged with first-degree murder in the poisoning death of his wife, 43-year-old Angela Craig, after she died on March 18, 2023, from lethal doses of cyanide and tetrahydrozoline, a decongestant found in over-the-counter eyedrops. The district attorney’s office filed a motion Friday requesting to add charges of solicitation to commit first-degree murder and solicitation to commit perjury to the criminal case against him, the agency said in a post on X.
