Office Manager Testimony Highlights Cyanide Plot in Colorado Dentist’s Murder Trial

Office manager testimony revealed a cyanide shipment to James Craig’s dental practice, highlighting prosecutors’ claims of a calculated murder plot

Overview

  • Caitlin Romero testified that on March 6 and March 9, James Craig predicted his wife would not survive, indicating foreknowledge of a fatal outcome
  • Romero said she discovered a biohazard-marked package at the dental office, identified potassium cyanide on the invoice and looked up its symptoms online
  • Prosecutors contend her account underscores premeditation through Craig’s late office visits and detailed online poison research
  • Defense attorneys challenged Romero’s reliability by noting her close relationship with Craig and pointed out that tests of the protein shake containers found no poison residue
  • The trial continues with jurors weighing witness testimony and Craig’s digital footprint against the defense’s attacks on informant credibility and evidentiary gaps
