Life in prison for Ridgefield florist in partner's murder - Rutherford Daily Voice

The murder weapon was found in the walk-in refrigerator at G&M under a pile of decorative branches, Grootenboer said. Battinelli bought the Browning .22 lever-action rifle at Ramsey Outdoor, she told jurors. When a Garfield police sergeant found it, she said, “the trigger was in the locked back position indicating it had been fired. It had one spent .22 caliber shell casing inside, and one .22 caliber bullet. “The bullet had a “B” stamp on the bottom of it. On January 6, 2010 when investigators searched Thomas Battinelli’s house, they found the same ammunition there.” Subsequent testing turned up Battinelli’s right, middle fingerprint on the gun. During his closing arguments, Neary ( left ) told jurors: “The fact it is Tom Battinelli’s gun and fingerprints isn’t proof.” STORY / PHOTOS: Mary K.

The evolution of Zazzy'z from florist to coffee house - Southwest Virginia Today

ABINGDON, Va. — Every once in a while, folks call Dr. Ramsey White “Zazzy.”“You know, I go by ‘Ramsey,’” said White, 72. “And I had a younger brother. When he was just starting to talk, he could not say ‘Ramsey,’ and he used to call me ‘Zazzy.’”White laughs, saying he could just not let that nickname go.Born in 1945, White lived in Bristol in the late 1940s — in both Virginia and Tennessee. For a few years after marrying his wife, Betsy, White lived at Virginia Beach, Virginia, where he served as a school teacher at Kempsville and Bayside. Then, starting in 1978, White became a dentist in Abingdon for 27 years and boasted thousands of patients.Today, this Abingdon resident occasionally still answers to “Zazzy.”In fact, that nickname showed up on signs when White opened a store in Abingdon after retiring from dentistry in 2005.White owns Zazzy’z. It’s a coffeehouse located in what was also once primarily a bookstore in what was also once White’s dental offices in the early 2000s.Before that, this circa-1880s home was a florist. Oh, yes&nbs... http://www.swvatoday.com/news/article_c35fc501-5939-5b2b-9c12-59d1f802ef45.html

F.C. Florist Sends Bouquets to Congresswomen Targeted by Trump - Falls Church News Press

Born in the Soviet Union-controlled Uzbekistan, Rabinovich and her family traversed through multiple countries before finally getting clearance to come to the U.S. She would grow up in the New Jersey/New York area, earning her citizenship by the time she was 16 and would later go on to get her degree in visual merchandising and interior design. AdvertisementsHer first job was working in a flower shop, an occupation that was always seen as a fallback for Rabinovich whenever she was in between gigs. She later realized she enjoyed working in flower shops more than any other job and started her own business out of her apartment in Arlington. Rabinovich wound up purchasing Galleria Florist in July 2015 when searching for a production space to operate out of, and last December she became an owner of Nosegay Flowers in Washington, D.C. — a former employer of hers.She re-emphasized that the flowers were merely a show of goodwill, but did add a general message to all Americans that, “The U.S. is a melting pot. It stands for inclusivity, not exclusivity. That’s what’s going to keep us going; diversity and the knowledge our immigrants bring to the country.”Share this:Comments comments... https://fcnp.com/2019/07/31/f-c-florist-sends-bouquets-to-congresswomen-targeted-by-trump/
