Woman Nabbed For Trying To Kill Friend With Poison Cheesecake: A woman in Brooklyn has been found guilty of attempted murder after trying to feed her friend a cheesecake laced with poison. Viktoria Nasyrova, 47 years old, admitted to prosecutors that since the victim, Olga Svyk, looked so much like her and also spoke Russian, she was hoping to steal Svyk’s identity and go back to Russia. Luckily, Svyk vomited and hallucinated after eating the dessert, but didn’t die. Svyk said in the courtroom Wednesday, "For her, it was an easy thing to try and take the life of another person. It was an easy thing to gain the trust of another person." Nasyrova has been sentenced to 21 in prison for the attempt on Svyk’s life.

Marathon Runner Caught Relieving Himself In Someone's Yard: A man running the Boston Marathon was caught “fertilizing someone’s grass” in the middle of the 26.2-mile run. A video posted online shows the participant walking to a remote corner of a resident’s front lawn, pulling down his pants, and squatting. However, a few seconds into the video, someone walks down the home’s front path and takes notice of the “party pooper”. The man, who appeared to be the homeowner, posted the doorbell footage to Reddit with the caption, “One of the marathon runners just took a **** in my yard (video inside).” Though toilets are reportedly located at every water and medical station along the route, the runner appeared to prefer going al fresco.
