Colorado dentist convicted of murder in the poisoning death of his wife
Dentist James Craig listens to closing arguments during his murder trial in district court in Arapahoe County, Tuesday, July 29, 2025, in Centennial, Colo. (AP Photo/David Zalubowskil) CENTENNIAL, Colo. — A jury convicted a Colorado dentist of first-degree murder on Wednesday in the poisoning death of his wife. Prosecutors at trial had accused James Craig of repeatedly poisoning his wife Angela Craig, including by lacing her smoothies, over 10 days in March 2023. When those attempts failed, prosecutors said the dentist gave his wife a final dose of cyanide as she was hospitalized in suburban Denver with symptoms that puzzled doctors. She was declared brain dead soon after. James Craig didn't testify during the two-week trial, and his attorneys didn't present other witnesses. The defense suggested Angela Craig may have taken her own life and faulted police for focusing solely on James Craig as a suspect. Craig claimed that his wife sought his help in ending her life but prosecutors said he offered other conflicting explanations for her death to other people. Toxicology tests determined Angela Craig died of poisoning from cyanide and tetrahydrozoline, an ingredient found in over-the-counter eye drops, according to the coroner. ____ Jesse Bedayn And Colleen Slevin, The Associated Press Slevin reported from Denver.

Calgary police arrest 11-year-old for allegedly robbing bus driver
Calgary police say an 11-year-old boy has been arrested after he allegedly held up a bus driver with a knife. Police say a bus driver parked at Erlton Station was approached by a youth at 11:45 p.m. on July 29. The suspect was allegedly armed with a knife and demanded the driver's phone. Police said the driver was able to 'de-escalate the situation' and the suspect left a short time later with an undisclosed amount of money. The youth joined a group of teens waiting outside the bus, who all left the scene. The driver called police, who located the group at 25 Street S.W. and Macleod Trail South. The youths were arrested without incident. Police say the group is believed to be involved in a liquor store robbery earlier that evening in the 500 block of 11 Avenue S.W. In that incident, police said a group of teens ran into the store and stole multiple bottles of liquor valued at more than $200. Three youths were arrested, including the 11-year-old believed to be responsible for the incident with the bus driver. A 14-year-old girl was charged with shoplifting and three counts of failing to comply with a release order. Charges are pending against a 16-year-old girl in connection with the liquor store theft. All of the youth suspects are not being named due to the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Petition to keep Alberta in Canada can start rolling out, says electoral officer
Alberta's chief electoral officer says a proposed referendum question on separation will go before a judge, despite calls from the premier to stop the process. EDMONTON — A former deputy premier's petition to have Alberta declare that its official policy is to remain in Canada can start rolling out across the province. Chief electoral officer Gordon McClure says canvassers with the Alberta Forever Canada citizen initiative can begin gathering signatures. Submitted by Thomas Lukaszuk, a former Progressive Conservative cabinet minister, the petition is for a policy proposal asking people: 'Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?' Canvassers have three months to gather around 294,000 signatures on the petition. McClure has also referred a competing pro-separation referendum question by the Alberta Prosperity Project to a judge to decide if it contravenes the Constitution. That question seeks a yes or no answer to: 'Do you agree that the Province of Alberta shall become a sovereign country and cease to be a province in Canada?' If approved, the Alberta Prosperity Project would need to collect 177,000 signatures in four months to put the question on a ballot due to new provincial rules. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 30, 2025.
