Referring to the book 'The Glove', the first trial of John Jones missed some important logical inferences because of two erroneous assumptions.
The first was to assume that either John Jones or Mart Feldman had dropped the second glove. There was a large gap in time during the night when neither were at this crime scene.
The second was to assume that the glove was dropped inside the hedge when Mart Feldman had testified that is was easy to pass your hand through the hedge from the street side. Therefore the glove could have been planted from the sidewalk side of the hedge.
Explanations for either men having dropped a moist or wet glove were very weak.
