Dentist asked daughter to help cover up wife's murder: Prosecution
Share this @internewscast.com


() Prosecutors in the trial of former Colorado dentist James Craig, accused of murdering his wife, Angela Craig, say he asked one of his six children to create a deepfake that would help cover up the murder.

Craig allegedly poisoned his wife two years ago by spiking her protein shakes with cyanide and tetrahydrozoline.

Craig had been married to Angela for 23 years. According to Denver Assistant District Attorney Ryan Brackley, Craig gave his wife the final dose of the poison during her final visit to a hospital, as doctors scrambled to figure out what was ailing her.

Police say Craig tried to convince people Angela was suicidal, and we’re now learning just how far he allegedly went to prove it. Craig’s second oldest daughter, now 20, and whose name is not being released, took the stand this week and said her father asked her to make a deepfake video of her mother to make it look like her mom was asking for the very poisons that killed her.

The daughter testified that James Craig gave her detailed instructions for buying a cheap laptop with a prepaid debit card and finding the video on the dark web. She did not comply.

Defense attorney Eric Faddis, who has been sitting in on the trial, told “Banfield” on Friday that per the prosecution, Craig sent a letter to his daughter from jail directing her to create a deepfake to show how the wife was suicidal, thereby supporting his defense.

“Multiple daughters got on the stand and testified about that [and] that James Craig requested that an autopsy not be done, which, of course, is suspicious. All of these factors are sort of piling up against James Craig throughout this trial,” Faddis said.

Faddis added that a detective took to the stand and showed how there was an Amazon purchase for arsenic around the time that Angela would have ingested that unknowingly, and it was from an Amazon account that is linked to an email address, credit card and an address for Craig.

Craig’s business partner, Dr. Ryan Redfearn, also testified that a package of arsenic arrived at their workplace while his wife was in a hospital. According to his testimony, Craig initially denied it was arsenic and the next day texted Redfearn, begging him not to go to the police.
