Summary

He made the smoothies. He added the protein powder. And if prosecutors are right — he allegedly laced them with cyanide and Visine while texting his wife “I love you.” In this solo breakdown, we’re unpacking the latest from the James Craig trial — the Colorado dentist accused of methodically murdering his wife, Angela, under the guise of everyday normalcy.

This isn’t your average true crime case. This is a man who allegedly played the long game: ordering industrial poisons through fake email accounts, tracking delivery schedules to his dental office, and sitting calmly at Angela’s hospital bedside as she slowly slipped into a coma. All while juggling an affair, financial collapse, and a Google search history that reads like a how-to manual for murder.

In this episode, we’ll cover the biggest trial bombshells so far:

The damning text messages that contradict his "grieving husband" act
Testimony from coworkers who discovered the poison package
How prosecutors are building a timeline of intent using Amazon orders and search history
Craig’s alleged plan to have his daughter create a fake deepfake suicide video
The psychological toll this case is taking on the jury, the family — and likely, the country watching

This case isn’t just about murder. It’s about manipulation. It’s about how someone can hide in plain sight — trusted, successful, admired — and allegedly use every ounce of that trust to commit the unthinkable. From the courtroom theatrics to the cold forensic detail, the James Craig trial is a haunting reminder: monsters don’t always show up in the dark. Sometimes, they wear white coats and hand you a smoothie.

If you’re following this trial, or just now catching up — this is everything you need to know.
