New charges filed against a Colorado dentist accused of fatally poisoning his wife’s protein shakes focus on his alleged efforts to kill a detective involved in the case, authorities said. Craig was previously arrested and charged with first-degree murder in the March 18, 2023, death of his wife of 23 years, Angela Craig, 43. Citing a professional conflict, Craig’s lawyer withdrew from the case just before prosecutors filed the solicitation charge last week. FacebookAuthorities previously accused James Craig of dosing his wife’s drink with cyanide and tetrahydrozoline, a medication found in eye drops. Angela Craig later died after experiencing a severe seizure, authorities said in James Craig’s arrest warrant.

☆ Remote workers are swapping commute hours for side hustles
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-30 | by ( Noah Sheidlower | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

The higher rate of side gigs among remote workers, though small, could also stem from some evidence that productivity slows when workers are pushed to return to the office. Stanford economists found 10% lower productivity for fully remote work compared to fully in-person work. Some remote workers told BI they drive for Uber or DoorDash while working as accountants or analysts. AdvertisementBI has also reported on dozens of "overemployed" remote workers who secretly work multiple jobs to earn six-figure incomes. Many said they don't feel guilt for working multiple remote positions, even as remote roles become scarcer and harder to get.

☆ Lawmakers in Massachusetts are trying to eventually stop the sale of tobacco
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-30 | by ( Jordan Pandy | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +2 min

In 2018, the state raised the legal age to buy tobacco products, such as cigarettes, cigars, and e-cigarettes, to 21. Nearby Massachusetts towns, such as Malden, Melrose, Reading, Stoneham, Wakefield, and Winchester, followed Brookline's playbook and also placed generational bans on tobacco products. In the US, California is trying to ban the purchase of tobacco products by 2073. New Zealand was the first country to impose a generational ban, but the country repealed that ban this year. "This bill will not take away the right to purchase nicotine and tobacco products from anyone who is already legally able to do so," he said.

Charles Romer, a retired oil executive, and his wife, vanished along with their 1978 Lincoln Continental while traveling home from Miami Beach, Florida. At the time, law enforcement expressed concerns about potential foul play against the couple from Scarsdale, New York, partly because Catherine Romer was wearing approximately $81,000 worth of jewelry. “The vehicle is similar to the description of a vehicle that Charles and Catherine Romer were believed to be driving,” the police department said in the statement posted to Facebook. Catherine Romer loved thoroughbred racing and enjoyed traveling with her granddaughters, introducing them to new foods and restaurants, Seaman said. “We’re all in shock, but ... we have this gratitude for the people that hunted this whole mystery down,” Seaman said.

An Alabama A&M football player who suffered a head injury during a game last month has died, a coroner’s office official said on Friday. Medrick Burnett Jr., 20, was hurt Oct. 26 when the Bulldogs took on Alabama State in an annual gridiron game known as the Magic City Classic. The redshirt freshman linebacker played in seven games this season after transferring to Alabama A&M from Grambling. Burnett was pronounced dead on Wednesday, said AJ Clifton, a deputy coroner with the Jefferson County Coroner/Medical Examiner Office. University officials on Wednesday issued a retraction after erroneously declaring in a statement Burnett had died.
