Summary

James Craig on Trial: The Poison Plot, The Mistresses & The Deepfake Cover-Up

This is the full story so far—and it’s more chilling than fiction.

In this extended, no-holds-barred breakdown, defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us from inside the courthouse to walk through everything unfolding in the trial of Colorado dentist James Craig, accused of slowly poisoning his wife Angela to death with cyanide, arsenic, and eyedrops… all while juggling secret affairs, financial ruin, and a public image of suburban perfection.

But the story doesn’t stop at the murder. Because according to prosecutors, Craig didn’t just plan Angela’s death—he kept plotting after she was gone. From jail, he allegedly tried to recruit fake witnesses, write up suicide scripts, and even asked his daughter to create a deepfake video to make it look like Angela wanted to die. One informant says he even tried to arrange a hit on the lead detective.

This episode brings it all together:

The forensic case: poison timelines, Google searches, Amazon orders, and chilling hospital visits
The motive: mistresses, sugar babies, financial desperation, and a life Craig allegedly wanted to escape
The emotional core: testimony from Angela’s daughters, who say their mother was planning for the future—not planning to die
The cover-up: handwritten jailhouse letters detailing fake alibis, burner phones, and character roles for imaginary friends

With no smoking gun and no direct eyewitness, this case hinges on what prosecutors say is a “pattern of intent”—and what the defense insists is all circumstantial.

Eric Faddis gives us the legal strategy, the courtroom temperature, and a brutally honest view of how this case is really landing with jurors.

This is the full story so far—from poison to plot twists, and everything in between.
