This collection brings together available recordings; it is not a certified or complete court record. Original titles and broadcasters are preserved.

Case background

Colorado dentist James Craig was prosecuted over the poisoning death of his wife, Angela, in March 2023. Prosecutors relied on toxicology, purchases and digital records; the defense disputed that he intentionally killed her. This is a partial courtroom archive because camera access to the trial was restricted.

More background & key dates

On July 30, 2025, the jury convicted Craig of first-degree murder and related solicitation offenses. The court imposed life without parole that day. The viewing list contains openings, a prosecution closing-argument segment, the verdict and sentencing coverage. It does not contain the witness-testimony days or a full defense-closing recording; a separate source link leads to the defense argument.

Collection scope & recording notes

Colorado dentist James Craig was prosecuted over the poisoning death of his wife, Angela, in March 2023. Prosecutors relied on toxicology, purchases and digital records; the defense disputed that he intentionally killed her. This is a partial courtroom archive because camera access to the trial was restricted. Four selected uploads from Crime Talk, Court TV, CNN and 9NEWS. Camera restrictions prevented a full day-by-day televised trial. The prosecution closing and verdict uploads are labeled segments; commentary and broadcast introductions may appear. The defense closing is linked under Sources, rather than represented as an included video. 4 recordings, approximately 3 broadcast hours. Original source titles and credits are retained. LIVE in a title refers to the original broadcast. Recordings can contain breaks and broadcaster commentary; this is not a certified complete court record.

Before you watch

Why are the witness-testimony days missing?

The court restricted camera coverage. This archive contains selected public proceedings, not twelve full trial days. The defense closing is available through the separate Court TV source link below.

What is included in this collection?

Four selected uploads from Crime Talk, Court TV, CNN and 9NEWS. Camera restrictions prevented a full day-by-day televised trial. The prosecution closing and verdict uploads are labeled segments; commentary and broadcast introductions may appear. The defense closing is linked under Sources, rather than represented as an included video.

Is this the official complete court record?

No. These are available public recordings with original titles and credits. Uploads may contain breaks, commentary or omissions. LIVE refers to the original broadcast. The guide describes the specified historical proceedings; later litigation is outside the collection unless expressly noted.

BRING THIS TO THE ROOM

Start with a question.

How do the two sides frame the evidence in their arguments? The full witness-testimony record is not available here.
