One of the next trials I’ll be chatting about as a guest legal analyst on @CourtTV is CO vs James Craig.Craig is accused of fatally poisoning his wife, Angela. He was allegedly involved in an affair at the time of Angela’s death. This trial is right down the road from me…should I stop by the courthouse and catch some of the trial live??

James Craig is facing multiple charges, including first-degree murder, for the death of 43-year-old Angela Craig. Her cause of death was determined to be lethal doses of cyanide and tetrahydrozoline, a decongestant found in over-the-counter eyedrops.

Prediction: the jury will reach a verdict in less than an hour. So much evidence against this idiot.

So dumb! He should be begging for a plea.

Uhm. Excuse me? Also, why isn’t the wife withdrawing, I wonder?

Because she didn’t burn down her house?

The "cases of interest" link does not show who from media was granted pool camera partner (EMC) for Opening Statements but I suspect it might be Denver News 7 and/or Denver Channel linked above.

Hoping for detailed reporting of this trial.
The world should hear the evidence. I really feel for their children, though.
