NYC woman gets 21 years in attempted cheesecake poisoning of lookalike friend

A Brooklyn woman convicted of trying to kill her lookalike friend with a poisoned cheesecake was sentenced Wednesday to 21 years in prison, CBS New York's Jesse Zanger reports.

Viktoria Nasyrova, 47, was found guilty of attempted murder in February.

Prosecutors said she hoped to kill Olga Svyk with a cheesecake laced with a potentially fatal drug so she could steal Svyk's identity, passport and other documents and return to Russia.
