A Colorado dentist accused of spiking his wife’s protein shakes with a fatal dose of poison faces two new charges, including solicitation to commit murder, officials said Friday.
James Craig, who was charged and pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder last year in the killing of Angela Craig, is now also accused of first-degree solicitation to commit perjury, the state's 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office said in a statement.
Additional details about the new charges were not immediately available.
The development came one day after Craig’s attorney withdrew from the case on the day jury selection in Craig’s trial was set to begin, NBC affiliate KUSA of Denver reported.
The attorney cited a professional conflict and other reasons, including one that states the client “persists in a course of action involving the lawyer’s services that the lawyer reasonably believes is criminal or fraudulent,” the station reported.
