Florida Woman Gets 23 years In NY Killing Of Mother-In-Law

NEW CITY, N.Y. (AP) — A woman convicted of killing her 80-year-old mother-in-law to get her hands on the family estate has been sentenced to 23 years in prison. Diana Nadell of Cutler Bay, Florida, pleaded guilty in March to first-degree murder in last year's killing of Peggy Nadell, a local New York activist. The Rockland County district attorney's office said Diana Nadell wanted access to her husband's share of Peggy Nadell's multimillion-dollar estate. Prosecutors said Diana Nadell and a hired accomplice lured Peggy Nadell to the door of her home in the New York suburbs with a late-night phone call. They said the pair then went inside and killed Nadell. Diana Nadell was also sentenced to 5 to 15 years for attempted witness tampering. That sentence is to be served during the murder sentence.
