Jams,

Were you expecting something in particular, or just comments in general?

I almost posted something, then decided not to. But since you asked!

I actually have used those "grocery store" gloves myself, but only for running during the winter. I've had several pairs of them. I consider them to be terrible gloves for doing anything other than keeping my hands warm while running. The fingertips, in particular (on the ones that I had) were sewn such that it was hard to pick up anything. So I was surprised --- quite surprised --- to learn that this type of glove would be used for committing a crime or for covering one up, as is being suggested here. They are good for running, however, because unlike many other gloves, you can wash them and get the sweat out of them. When you do that, they really shrink down, by the way, but they do fit more snugly. Once again, I'm very surprised to see that this type of glove was thought to have been used. I can't imagine it myself based on my own experience. I'd use latex or some other type of glove that would allow me to manipulate things better plus not shed fibers.

Another thing that surprises me is that these investigators seem to think that not only did either John or Patsy murder JonBenét, but that they then went and put on these horrible gloves to stage the scene. ??? After accidentally or purposefully killing their daughter, did they stop to get out their crime manual to see what the next step in covering up a crime is? "Be sure to wear gloves. We recommend those grocery-store type of cheap, cotton gloves."

I can't really imagine either John or Patsy owning this type of glove, but I have --- so perhaps. The more likely owner would be someone without a home, I would think --- someone who doesn't own a pen or paper or much of anything?
