Former Clark County District Judge Jackie Glass, who famously sentenced O.J. Simpson to prison, has died, according to a Facebook post from her daughter.
“(I)t wasn’t supposed to be this way, I just saw you a few hours ago, I will never get over this, you are my everything, how am I supposed to do this life without you?” Rachel Wolfson wrote. “I love you mommy, I need you.”
After Simpson was convicted in 2008 of felonies including first-degree kidnapping, robbery with use of a deadly weapon and assault with a deadly weapon, Glass ordered him to serve nine to 33 years in prison.
Glass was elected to the District Court in 2002 and served on the bench until June 10, 2011. She then hosted the courtroom show “Swift Justice with Jackie Glass.”
More recently, she worked as a mediator for Advanced Resolution Management.
Glass was married to Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday.
