He was going to get caught.

So sad and dumb.

James Craig has got to be the dumbest dentists alive. To do the things he did and obviously thought he could get away

He didn’t want to pay alimony or give her 50% of his assets.

Hey siri, what's 50% of my assets after I lose everything to murder charges?

Cougarclaw

He and Chad Daybell must have taken the same murder correspondence course.

His wife asked him for a blessing 🙁 (Page 15)

May that request haunt him for the rest of his life.

Cougarclaw

It won't. Only a stone cold psychopath could do that.

ReiUrso

I’m having trouble even imagining getting there. That’s…. Diabolical.

I hope there's a special place in hell for guys like him. A hell within hell.

Where did you see that? I read warrant and only saw via text that someone handled the EQ assignment..

CLCougar

good thing he took care of the EQ assignment as he headed to jail for life.

He didn’t even use incognito mode or clear his history!

So he'd drugged her before? Yikes

Yes. Her best friend told the detective he had drugged Angela 5 years ago amidst other affairs

Depends on how you mean "drug," I guess.

This scumbag managed to get chemicals that kill people. Seems like that argument shouldn’t be valid for the state

The difference perhaps is we call out our bad apples and shout them down

Cougarclaw

So do I have to call out all people arrested with mug shots or can it be implied

The other difference is 99% of Ute fans suck.
