"’I failed him.’ These are Angela Craig’s word, ‘I failed him. He says, I deserve better, and that I’ll be fine, but I can’t help but think it’s me. I’m not what he wants. It almost killed me when he said he didn’t love me and I wasn’t enough. I feel so sad and the weight of everything just seems to be crushing all the air out of me."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Mauro, Chief Deputy District Attorney:
"And this is how he describes his marriage to Carrie Hageseth for a month. He calls it a situation, a problem. He says he’s frustrated, stuck, trapped, hopeless, helpless. These are all his words. You have all of these text messages."
STORYLINE:
A Colorado dentist accused of killing his wife by gradually poisoning her wanted out of a marriage he felt trapped in, but didn’t want to seek a divorce to protect his money and image, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
During closing arguments in the murder trial of James Craig, Senior Chief Deputy Michael Mauro disputed Craig’s claim that his wife wanted to kill herself rather than get divorced. Mauro said Angela Craig was a hopeful person who had pushed forward through Craig’s infidelity for years while leaning on her faith.
After poisonings, including of his wife’s smoothies, failed to kill her, prosecutors allege, Craig gave her a fatal dose of cyanide as she lay in her hospital bed on March 15, 2023, as doctors tried to figure out what was ailing her. She was declared brain dead soon after.
“She is the ultra-marathon runner of dealing with this man’s betrayal, but she couldn’t outrun it at University Hospital on March 15,” Mauro said, pointing repeatedly at Craig and referring to him as “this man.”
James Craig is charged with first-degree murder in his wife’s death in suburban Denver in 2023. He is also accused of trying to fabricate evidence to make it look like she killed herself and of asking a fellow jail inmate to kill the detective who led the investigation into his wife’s death.
