(Photo via Facebook) The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office wants to file a new charge of solicitation to commit murder against an Aurora dentist accused of fatally poisoning his wife, officials announced Friday, one day after the man’s murder trial was delayed because his attorney abruptly quit. James Craig, 46, was charged with first-degree murder in the poisoning death of his wife, 43-year-old Angela Craig, after she died on March 18, 2023, from lethal doses of cyanide and tetrahydrozoline, a decongestant found in over-the-counter eyedrops. The district attorney’s office filed a motion Friday requesting to add charges of solicitation to commit first-degree murder and solicitation to commit perjury to the criminal case against him, the agency said in a post on X.

Aurora City Council member Danielle Jurinsky says the Trump transition team has spoken to her about Operation Aurora, but the details of President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to deport an unknown number of undocumented immigrants remain scarce. Last week, Jurinsky took the opportunity of a monthly meeting of the council’s public safety policy committee, which she chairs, to remind city leaders that “Operation Aurora is coming.” “This is the real thing,” she said.

One of the greatest skiers of all time, a Rocktober hero, and a coach who helped put the Nuggets on the map headline the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame class of 2025. The trio consists of Mikaela Shiffrin, who is on the cusp of surpassing 100 alpine skiing victories on the World Cup circuit before she turns 30 in March; former Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, a five-time major league all-star; and Larry Brown, who coached the Nuggets for five seasons, including their first three in the NBA, and earned ABA coach of the year honors in 1975 and ’76 while leading the team to prominence. The other three members of the Class of ’25 are Simon Fletcher, who owns the second-most sacks in Broncos history; Denver-born Negro Leagues player and World War II veteran Theodore “Bubbles” Anderson; and Lisa Van Goor, who totaled more than 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in her University of Colorado basketball career. The 60th annual banquet is scheduled for April 9 at the Hilton Denver City Center. Shiffrin, who was born and raised in the Vail Valley, has won 98 World Cup gold medals, a record for any skier, man or woman.

WASHINGTON — Parker Kelly’s initiation as a center in the NHL was a bit like taking a first swimming lesson in the middle of an ocean. He felt it most when he settled into his position for a faceoff during his first exhibition game for the Avalanche and was nose-to-nose with Matt Duchene.

The NFL flexed, and once again fans were muscled out. For the first time in league history, the league moved a Sunday game into Thursday prime time, pitting the Broncos at the Chargers on Dec. 19. The NFL wanting viewers to watch the Broncos is a welcome change, indicating they have finally been forgiven for burning retinas with the Nathaniel Hackett-Russell Wilson pairing in 2022. But it stinks for fans with plans.

Colorado has been supplying the NWSL with top-end talent for years. Soon, the league could be paying it back with an expansion franchise in the Mile High City. National Women’s Soccer League Commissioner Jessica Berman named Denver as one of three finalists for an expansion team in a news conference on Friday. Speaking to media members ahead of Saturday night’s championship match in Kansas City, Berman confirmed three ownership groups are vying for one slot: Denver, Cincinnati and Cleveland.
