Overview

  • Jury selection began on July 12 in Denver, with lawyers from both sides questioning potential jurors for signs of bias.
  • Prosecutors will show home video capturing a March 2023 kitchen argument in which Angela Craig accused her husband of telling hospital staff she was suicidal.
  • Prosecutors plan to introduce evidence of online poison research and shipping records for potassium cyanide and arsenic.
  • Craig has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, solicitation to commit murder and perjury, arguing that forensic tests found no poison in the protein-shake containers and that key jailhouse witnesses lack credibility.
  • The case originated after business partner Ryan Redfearn alerted a nurse to a cyanide shipment at Craig’s Aurora dental office, prompting the Denver Police Department probe.
