The 18th Judicial District Attorney&#8217;s Office issued a news release that clarified those substances as &#8220;a lethal cocktail of arsenic, cyanide and tetrahydrozoline.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, the jury returned guilty verdicts on all charges, including first-degree murder, two counts of solicitation to commit tampering with physical evidence, two counts of solicitation to commit first-degree perjury, and solicitation to commit first-degree murder.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors said the solicitation to commit murder charge is in connection with Craig offering an inmate $20,000 to kill the case&#8217;s lead investigator, and that Craig also offered $20,000 to find people to falsely testify that his wife planned to die by suicide.\u00a0  \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Angela&#8217;s son spoke during the victim impact statements portion of the sentencing hearing and said, &#8220;It&#8217;s hard to lose your mom and then your dad three days later.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Several of Angela&#8217;s family members spoke at the sentencing.
