00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.759
Calarogus Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Read Carter, and welcome

2
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:14.359
to Celebrity Trials on this Sunday, July twenty seventh. Today

3
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:16.559
we're diving into one of the most calculated and cold

4
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:22.519
blooded murder cases currently unfolding in American courtrooms. It's the

5
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:26.039
story of James Craig, a Colorado dentist who allegedly used

6
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:29.079
his medical knowledge and access to poisons to slowly kill

7
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:32.439
his wife while carrying on a passionate affair with another woman.

8
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:36.079
This isn't a crime of passion or a moment of rage.

9
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.560
This is the story of systematic poisoning carried out over

10
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:43.240
ten days, disguised as loving gestures like making his wife

11
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.719
her mourning protein shake. It's a case that proves how

12
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:51.520
the most trusted people in our lives, medical professionals, spouse's parents,

13
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:54.679
can become the most dangerous when their secrets are threatened.

14
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:58.560
Let me paint you the picture of the Craig family

15
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:03.520
before everything unraveled. James Craig forty seven was a successful

16
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:06.840
dentist in Aurora, Colorado, with his own practice and a

17
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:11.359
reputation in the community. Angela Craig, forty three, was a

18
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:14.439
devoted mother of six children and an active member of

19
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:17.680
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. From

20
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:21.799
the outside, they looked like the perfect Mormon family. James

21
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:25.079
was described as a loving father who was amazing with

22
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:28.439
his children. Angela was the devoted wife and mother who

23
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:31.519
kept the family together. They had been married for twenty

24
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:33.840
three years and seemed to have built a life that

25
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:38.480
many would envy. But beneath this carefully constructed facade was

26
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:44.920
a marriage built on lies, infidelity, and ultimately murder. James

27
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:48.719
Craig had been cheating on his wife throughout their entire marriage,

28
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:54.359
not just casual affairs, systematic calculated relationships with multiple women

29
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:57.599
that he managed like a part time business. He used

30
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:02.799
dating websites, maintainecks, great email accounts, and spent thousands of

31
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:06.239
dollars on these relationships while telling his wife he loved her.

32
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.639
Angela knew about the affairs. She had caught him cheating before,

33
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.639
but as a devout Mormon, she was committed to keeping

34
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:17.039
the family together. The defense would later describe her as

35
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:21.000
broken by his infidelity but determined to preserve their marriage

36
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:25.960
for religious and family reasons. This dynamic a serial cheater

37
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.840
who wouldn't divorce and a religious wife who wouldn't leave

38
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:34.319
created the perfect storm for what prosecutors say became premeditated murder.

39
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:40.199
In February twenty twenty three, James Craig attended a dental

40
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:43.199
conference in Las Vegas. It was there that he met

41
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.520
doctor Karen Kane, a Texas orthodontist who was going through

42
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:51.039
her own divorce. What started as professional networking quickly became

43
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:55.000
an intense romantic affair that would change both their lives forever.

44
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:59.319
Craig told Cain he was getting divorced and living separately

45
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.520
from his wife. He painted himself as a devoted father

46
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:04.800
who was handling the end of his marriage with grace

47
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:08.240
and consideration for his children. It was a complete lie,

48
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:12.560
but Cain believed every word. That was the thing that

49
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:17.240
drew me to him. Cain testified through tears. The conversations

50
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:21.599
were very deep and honest and vulnerable. We talked a

51
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:25.560
lot about faith. That was one of our primary connections.

52
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:29.639
Over the next three weeks, Craig and Cain exchanged over

53
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:34.719
four thousand text messages, numerous FaceTime calls, and love letters.

54
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.199
Craig told her things like I love you so much,

55
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:43.319
say the word, and I'm yours and suenya cunmigo, dream

56
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.639
with me my eternal love, and may Heaven let us

57
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:51.680
bloom together forever. But here's where this romance becomes deadly.

58
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.240
Craig had promised Cain she could visit him in Denver

59
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:58.479
in mid March. He had painted himself as a man

60
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.759
who was free to start a new life. The only

61
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:05.439
problem was that Angela Craig was very much still his wife,

62
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:09.080
still living in their family home, and still committed to

63
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.919
their marriage. As the date of Caine's visit approached, Craig

64
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.759
faced a problem that many cheating spouses encounter. How to

65
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:21.560
make his lies match reality. Most people would confess, cancel

66
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:25.680
the visit, or face the consequences of their deception. James

67
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:31.319
Craig chose murder. On February twenty seventh, twenty twenty three,

68
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:35.360
just three days after returning from Vegas, James Craig created

69
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:38.439
a new email account with the handle Jim and Dwaffles

70
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:42.480
using a computer in exam Room nine at his dental practice.

71
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.800
This wasn't for patient care or business purposes. This was

72
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:49.800
the beginning of a murder plot. Using this secret email account,

73
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.399
Craig began researching how to kill his wife without detection.

74
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:57.759
His search history reads like a how to manual for murder.

75
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.360
How to make murder look like a art attack. A

76
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:05.439
dosage of tetrahydrosylene that is fatal? How long does it

77
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:10.319
take to die from arsenic poisoning? Top five undetectable poisons

78
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:14.480
that show no signs of foul play. These weren't idle curiosities.

79
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.759
These were research queries for a man planning his wife's death,

80
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:20.199
and he was using his medical background to make those

81
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:25.399
searches more precise and deadly. On February twenty eighth, just

82
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:29.399
one day after creating the secret email account, Craig ordered

83
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:33.399
arsenic on Amazon. The timing is crucial. This was during

84
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:37.399
his intense romantic correspondence with Cain, when he was promising

85
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:40.040
her a future together and she was planning her visit

86
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.839
to Colorado. The evidence shows that Craig began poisoning his

87
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:48.120
wife on March sixth, twenty twenty three, exactly nine days

88
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:51.639
before Cain was scheduled to arrive in Denver. As prosecutor

89
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:55.040
Michael Morrow told the jury, he's got nine days to

90
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.040
solve this problem. He's got nine days to be the

91
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:02.399
man he promised to be. March sixth started like any

92
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:06.040
other morning. Angela Craig drank a protein shake her husband

93
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:08.600
made for her, something they often did for each other

94
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:11.839
as part of their healthy lifestyle. She worked out, but

95
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:16.639
then started feeling strange. Angela texted her husband, my stomach

96
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:21.199
feels fine, but my head feels funny and dizzy, very strange.

97
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:24.720
Craig missed his usual six forty five am staff meeting

98
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:28.720
at his dental practice, arriving closer to seven am. When

99
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:33.319
questioned by his office manager, Caitlin Romero, he apologized and

100
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.519
said his wife wasn't feeling well, possibly because he had

101
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.360
put too much protein powder in the shake he'd given her.

102
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.040
Think about that for a moment. Craig was already creating

103
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:46.120
cover stories for why his wife was getting sick, and

104
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.319
he was doing it with his employees, creating witnesses to

105
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:54.480
his supposed innocence. Angela's condition worsened throughout the day, and

106
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:58.680
Craig took her to advent Health Parker Hospital. Tests including

107
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:03.439
mri CT scan and blood work, showed nothing conclusive, so

108
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:07.000
she was sent home. But here's the most chilling detail.

109
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:10.519
While his wife was in the emergency room, Craig texted

110
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.680
his mistress Karen Kin, just for the record, I will

111
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:18.079
never drug you. Think about the psychology of that message.

112
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.879
While his wife was suffering from the poison he'd given her,

113
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:23.959
Craig was reassuring his lover that he would never do

114
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.120
the same thing to her. It's a level of calculated

115
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:41.600
cruelty that's almost incomprehensible. Back in a moment. Angela Craig

116
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:44.519
returned home from the hospital that first time, but her

117
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:49.240
symptoms continued. On March ninth, just three days later, her

118
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:53.680
condition deteriorated dramatically. There's a moment on March ninth where

119
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:58.079
her kids find her passed out fainted, Prosecutor Ryan Brackley

120
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:01.639
said in his opening statement. There's a moment on March

121
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:04.480
ninth where she crawls across the floor because she can't

122
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:07.920
get up, and she goes back to the hospital. This time,

123
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:11.439
Angela was admitted to advent Health Parker Hospital and remained

124
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:15.519
there until March fourteenth. Blood tests taken at eleven twenty

125
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:19.000
four a m on March ninth showed high and toxic

126
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:22.199
levels of arsenic in her system. But even as his

127
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:26.759
wife lay in the hospital with arsenic poisoning. Craig wasn't finished.

128
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.920
On March eighth, while Angela was fighting for her life,

129
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:35.399
Craig ordered potassium cyanide from a Nebraska based company called

130
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:40.320
Midland Scientific. He told the customer service representative, Cassie Rodriguez,

131
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:43.039
that he needed overnight shipping and that he intended to

132
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:45.919
use the cyanide for some type of seminar. He was

133
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:49.679
presenting it was another lie to cover his true intentions.

134
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.279
The potassium cyanide was delivered to Craig's dental office on

135
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.159
March thirteenth, the same day Angela was released from the

136
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:03.360
hospital after her second admission. Office manager Caitlin Romero testified

137
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.720
that she found the package and was shocked to see

138
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.759
it contained potassium cyanide. She had no idea why a

139
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.200
dental office would need such a dangerous substance. When she

140
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:15.759
showed it to Craig, he seemed nervous and told her

141
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:20.480
he would take care of it. Angela Craig was readmitted

142
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:23.120
to the hospital for the final time on March fifteenth,

143
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:27.799
twenty twenty three. About three hours after arriving, she had

144
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:31.519
a seizure and unexplained rapid medical decline, which led to

145
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:34.360
her being placed on life support in the hospital's intensive

146
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:38.000
care unit, but prosecutors say Craig wasn't finished with his

147
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:42.440
murder plot even with his wife on life support. They

148
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:46.320
alleged that Craig administered a final fatal dose of cyanide

149
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:49.080
to Angela while she was in the hospital. He didn't

150
00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:52.240
go into that room to save Angela's life, Prosecutor Ryan

151
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:54.679
Brackley said, he didn't go into that room to fight

152
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:56.919
for her life or support her. He went into that

153
00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:00.159
room to murder her, to deliberately and intentionally end her

154
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:04.559
life with a fatal dose of cyanide. On March eighteen,

155
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:10.039
twenty twenty three, Angela Craig was pronounced brain dead. The

156
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:13.639
Arapahoe County Coroner ruled her cause of death as acute

157
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:19.399
cyanide and tetrahydrosylene poisoning, with subacute arsenic poisoning listed as

158
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:23.240
a significant condition. She was forty three years old. She

159
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.519
left behind six children and a community that believed she

160
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:30.440
had died from a mysterious illness. In one of the

161
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:34.279
most callous aspects of this case, Karen Kin arrived in

162
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:38.440
Denver on March sixteenth, just two days before Angela Craig

163
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:43.039
was pronounced dead. Craig had maintained his romantic correspondence with

164
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.480
Cain throughout his wife's poisoning, keeping up the pretense that

165
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:49.679
he was a divorced man free to pursue a new relationship.

166
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:53.159
Cain testified that she spent several days in Denver with

167
00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:56.600
Craig while his wife lay dying in the hospital. She

168
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:00.480
said Craig kept her updated on Angela's condition, portrayed himself

169
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.440
as a caring ex husband dealing with his former wife's

170
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:08.639
mysterious illness. At this point, I mean today, in today's world,

171
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:12.879
I really don't know anything, Doctor Karen Kin told the

172
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:16.559
jury about her relationship with Craig. She called her past

173
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:19.679
self foolish and said she now doesn't know what was

174
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:24.000
real and what wasn't in their relationship. When prosecutors read

175
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.399
her a text where she had told Craig, I don't

176
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:29.679
want to watch her, meaning Angela's heartbreak, so mine can

177
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:33.240
find joy, Cain choked up and her hand hovered over

178
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:38.840
her heart. On March nineteenth, the day after Angela Craig died,

179
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.960
Craig was arrested. Detective Bobby Olsen contacted Cain at her

180
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:47.559
hotel before she flew back to Texas, and Cain learned

181
00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:50.000
for the first time that the man she thought she

182
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:53.919
loved was accused of murdering his wife. Perhaps the most

183
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:57.559
heartbreaking aspect of this trial has been the testimony from

184
00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:01.960
Craig's own daughters. These young women, who lost their mother

185
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:04.879
and now face the reality that their father may have

186
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:07.960
killed her, took the witness stand to tell the truth

187
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:12.080
about what they witnessed. Craig's oldest daughter testified that her

188
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:14.720
father did not want an autopsy conducted on her mother.

189
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:18.600
He didn't want to satisfy their curiosities and have them

190
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:21.360
poking at her. She said he told her after Angela's death,

191
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:25.600
when the daughter expressed concerns about her mother's illness being

192
00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:28.320
hereditary and that she might have passed it on to

193
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:32.159
her youngest children, she testified that her father stayed quiet,

194
00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:35.919
a telling reaction for a medical professional who should have

195
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:39.639
been able to provide reassurance about genetic versus environmental causes

196
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:44.480
of illness. But perhaps most shocking was the testimony about

197
00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:49.039
Craig's attempts to manipulate evidence from behind bars. Craig's daughter

198
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:51.919
testified that her father asked her to create a deep

199
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:55.000
fake video of her mother with step by step instructions

200
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:57.960
in a letter written in his handwriting, I love you.

201
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:00.480
I'm sorry to even have to ask ask you for

202
00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.600
this help. The letter read, Craig wanted his daughter to

203
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:06.159
make it appear that Angela had wanted him to order

204
00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:09.399
the poisons that killed her, essentially asking his child to

205
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:13.200
help him frame her dead mother for suicide. The letter

206
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:17.840
included detailed instructions buy a cheap laptop, install a private

207
00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:21.039
network and dark web browser, pay for the project using

208
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:24.120
a prepaid Visa gift card, and create a video that

209
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:27.559
appeared to have been made before Angela's death. He wanted

210
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:30.600
his daughter to burn the video to thumb drives, find

211
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:33.679
them in her mother's bag, and then destroy the laptop.

212
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:38.759
During her emotional testimony, Craig's oldest daughter said that while

213
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:42.000
her mother struggled like anyone else, she wouldn't have taken

214
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:45.960
her own life. We were making plans, the twenty one

215
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:50.559
year old woman said, as if murdering his wife wasn't enough.

216
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:54.679
Prosecutors say Craig tried to orchestrate additional murders from behind

217
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:58.639
bars while awaiting trial. Craig allegedly tried to pay his

218
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:02.480
cellmate and others to cut his tracks, including offering twenty

219
00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:06.679
thousand dollars to kill Detective Bobby Olsen, the lead investigator

220
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:10.919
in his case. During a February twenty twenty five hearing,

221
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:14.240
prosecutors introduced a letter they said Craig wrote to a

222
00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:19.279
fellow inmate, calling Olson the worst dirtiest detective in the world.

223
00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:23.399
Craig also allegedly offered someone twenty thousand dollars to find

224
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:27.039
people to falsely testify that Angela Craig planned to die

225
00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:30.519
by suicide. He tried to convince inmates to create false

226
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:33.639
evidence and testimony that would support his claim that his

227
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:36.639
wife had killed herself. These aren't the actions of an

228
00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:40.200
innocent man. These are the desperate moves of a killer

229
00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:44.600
trying to escape responsibility for his crimes. The James Craig

230
00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:49.480
case represents a particularly chilling form of domestic violence medical murder.

231
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:53.000
Craig used his knowledge as a dental professional and his

232
00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:56.159
access to controlled substances to slowly torture and kill his

233
00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:59.639
wife over more than a week. What makes this case

234
00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:04.639
a spec disturbing is the premeditation and calculation involved. This

235
00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:08.200
wasn't a crime of passion or a moment of rage.

236
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:14.200
This was systematic, methodical murder disguised as loving care. Craig

237
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:17.279
made his wife's mourning protein shakes, a gesture that should

238
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:21.440
represent love and care between spouses. Instead, he turned this

239
00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:26.000
daily ritual into a delivery system for poison. Every morning.

240
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:29.039
When Angela drank that shake, she was trusting the man

241
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:32.559
who was slowly killing her. The digital evidence in this

242
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:37.039
case is overwhelming. Craig's Internet searches show a man researching

243
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:41.320
how to commit undetectable murder. His timeline shows careful planning

244
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:44.879
and execution. His attempts to manipulate his own children and

245
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.480
orchestrate additional murders from jail show a complete absence of

246
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:53.440
conscience or remorse. Defense attorney Ashley Withham has argued that

247
00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:56.679
Craig loved his wife but was a serial cheater, and

248
00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:59.399
that Angela may have taken her own life, but the

249
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:03.200
evidence paid it's a different picture a narcissistic manipulator who

250
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:06.080
saw his wife as an obstacle to his selfish desires

251
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:09.600
and decided to eliminate her rather than face the consequences

252
00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:14.279
of his lies. The James Craig trial continues this week

253
00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:18.000
and will be following every development as prosecutors present their

254
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:21.639
case against this alleged medical murderer. The evidence we've seen

255
00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:26.360
so far, the internet searches, the poison purchases, the systematic timeline,

256
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.840
the victim's own children testifying against him, paints a picture

257
00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:34.039
of calculated evil hiding behind the facade of professional respectability.

258
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:38.639
On Monday, we'll bring you the latest developments from the courtroom,

259
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:43.200
including testimony about Craig's jailhouse murder plot, and any response

260
00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:46.200
from the defense. This is a case that shows how

261
00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:50.759
the people we trust most medical professionals, spouses, parents, can

262
00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:54.399
become the most dangerous when their secrets are threatened. That's

263
00:16:54.480 --> 00:17:01.960
celebrity trials for today. I'm read Carter. Remember when someone

264
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:05.519
uses their professional knowledge to commit murder, they're not just

265
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:09.240
taking a life, They're betraying every principle of the profession

266
00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:13.000
they claim to serve. Justice isn't always medical, but it's

267
00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:16.559
absolutely riveting. Have a great Sunday, and we'll see you

268
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:19.200
back here tomorrow with more developments from the Craig trial.
