'Thank you is never necessary': APD lead detectives detail investigation into death of Angela Craig
More than two years of an investigation boiled down to a roughly two week trial, where a former Aurora dentist was convicted by a jury for the murder of his wife in March of 2023.

This was an excellent press conference. These prosecutors were dedicated to nailing this a hole...there were several relatable comments about how stunned they were each time Craig took another stupidly audacious step attempting to cover up his crimes. James Craig has now been held fully accountable. The evidence was completely overwhelming. There is zero doubt Craig murdered Angela. Thank you Jury!
Re: Count Seven ( 7)
I haven't seen it reported elsewhere, but journalists did ask what the deal was with Count 7 - manslaughter via assisted suicide. Prosecutors confirmed that the state never, ever, brought such a charge.
As I suspected, this count was added by the court after the defense made argument at the charging conference the day prior to closing arguments. They argued that the jury should be able to consider the added count after evidence presented at trial through Craig's notes and text messages.
It was clear that the prosecution argued against it, however the judge found for the defense. I get that the judge was legally bound, but it is still pretty bizarre to me...I suppose because the prosecution never presented any evidence that suicide was on the cards because there was none.
The defense took this a hole's written lies and calculated comments in text messages, and on cross presented them to the jury as if evidence I guess. What the,?...I bet the jurors took two seconds to tick the NG box on Count 7. Suck on those eggs JC ... What an unbelievably selfish, self absorbed, calculated killer he is. Moo

Listening to the jurors is sobering... sleepless nights, anxiety, feelings of isolation, having to hold it all in.
IMO these jurors are victims of JC too.
He knew what he did, but he gambled on a trial anyway. Putting winesses and jurors through the TRAUMA when he didn't even have a snowball's chance of an acquittal. IMO people are nothing but pawns for him.
He thinks he's the universe.
My respect to the jury. I love that, just as members in the courtroom stand for the judge, the judge has everyone stand for the jury.
One juror described how she felt after a day of testimony -- that she lost a piece of humanity that day.
I thank them for their SERVICE to justice and how they can recover.

This is one reason I was glad for the prosecution accepting the guilty plea of the Idaho slasher. That's twelve people (plus alternates) who won't be wondering if they should seek counseling to recover from what they saw in the evidence.
I served as a juror on a longish civil trial and it was keeping me up at night. Plus I was having to drive daily on ice covered streets because I was serving in October, and winter came early that year.

'Pity and disgust': Woman deceived by Colorado dentist who poisoned his wife discusses trial, aftermath
Two years after a Colorado dentist murdered his wife, his former girlfriend revealed how he left lasting trauma.
interesting.
very.... she seems to say that even though she learned ((by way of murder)) that "people are ((NOT)) always who they say they are" she is dedicated to continuing to believe they are?? Scratching my head at this one.'Pity and disgust': Woman deceived by Colorado dentist who poisoned his wife discusses trial, aftermath

interesting.
My brief brush with a serial killer made me question everyone and everything after that. Gullibility can get you ((or someone else)) killed.
I think she is deciding that she is not going to let him have the power to ruin her future life, so that it destroys her trust in relationships. She wouldn't get to experience love again if she lost trust. Her experience with a killer of his ilk is extremely rare. IMO

I guess that she would want to meet his family, friends, visit his house, know more background before getting into a relationship. I almost consider their "relationship" to a "one night stand".
After all, she met him at a dental conference. And then wasn't their relationship text messages, phone calls, until he convinced her to come to visit him?
It looks like he used "love bombing", all of the text messages, almost as a self soothing reaction to the chaos he had created in his life.
