"red wool gloves"? What is that, Little House on the Prairie?
We live in serious glove country and they're either insulated with a nylon shell or leather. I can't recall the last time I've seen anyone wear wool gloves anyway. They get too soaked the minute they get any snow on them. And *red*?!?!
This initially started out as a hate crime investigation, didn't it? Which is a felony, if someone commits it? The cops didn't check to see if red wool fibers were left by a guy the prof said was whaling on him? If they did check, and couldn't find any fibers...I'd say the prof has some splainin' to do.
You can't drive with wool gloves--your hands slip on the wheel--you can't work with a tool. Everyone I see wears leather with a wool lining--
