Slow Poisons

Constructor's Note
4 out of 10 clues here reference a Japanese case that was the basis for one of my favorite episodes of Buzzfeed Unsolved. (Another is the episode on Edgar Allen Poe's death, which I might or might not have to make a separate puzzle for sometime.) In case clue 6A is too punishing, try, "Don't be _ ____, just be a queen"
