Description:
This wasn’t a murder of passion. It was a slow bleed.
James Craig allegedly poisoned his wife Angela not in a fit of rage — but with surgical patience. Cyanide mixed into protein shakes. Visine added quietly to drinks. All while texting “I love you” and smiling beside her hospital bed. If true, this was murder by milligram — and that says a lot about who he really is.
In this episode, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins me to break down why someone would choose poison as their method. What it says about control. About ego. About the kind of mind that doesn’t just want to eliminate someone — but wants to do it quietly, slowly, and in total command of the narrative.
We cover the psychology behind poisoning as a form of sadism, the disturbing clinical detachment it requires, and how Craig may have viewed the entire situation as a chess match rather than a marriage. We also unpack the idea of “performing grief” — how some high-functioning predators keep up the act even while the crime is unfolding.
If you’re trying to understand how someone could act caring while allegedly orchestrating a murder… this one’s for you.
