 Verdict & Sentence: James Craig Found Guilty, Gets Life for Poison Plot
The jury has spoken. In a stunning end to one of Colorado’s most chilling trials, former dentist James Craig has been found guilty of first-degree murder, along with five related felony charges, and has been sentenced to life without parole. In this episode, we break down every pivotal moment — the verdict read, the courtroom’s emotional atmosphere, and the voting details of a jury that deliberated less than one day.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

  • The jury’s unanimous conviction on charges ranging from murder to solicitation and perjury, with a clear rejection of Craig’s suicide theory

  • How prosecutors portrayed Craig as a calculating husband who poisoned his wife – from cyanide in protein shakes to a lethal IV dose in the hospital

  • The defense’s attempt to frame the case as one of emotional breakdown and investigate oversights, weighed against hard evidence of search histories, poison orders, and manipulation

  • Victim impact statements that tore through the courtroom — including Craig’s own daughter saying, “He'll forever be the villain in my book”

  • The sentence itself and the full significance of a mandatory life term plus decades on additional charges

This episode doesn’t just replay verdict day. It examines what the outcome tells us about justice, trust, betrayal, and the power of control inside a marriage that looked perfect from the outside. Expect raw courtroom emotion, final analysis, and the lasting impact on the family left behind.

Prepare for closure — but not for forgetting.
