Particulars
Jackie Glass was an American judge who served on the Eighth Judicial District Court in Clark County, Nevada. She gained national prominence in 2008 when she presided over the armed-robbery trial of O.J. Simpson and sentenced him to 33 years in prison for the robbery of sports memorabilia collectors at a Las Vegas hotel. The high-profile case made her one of the most recognized judges in the country at the time.
After leaving the bench, Glass transitioned to television, hosting the nationally syndicated arbitration-based court show 'Swift Justice with Jackie Glass' for its second season, which aired from 2011 to 2012. The program, distributed by CBS Television Distribution, followed the traditional small-claims court show format and brought her legal expertise to a daytime television audience.
Glass was also the mother of Rachel Wolfson, a comedian and stunt performer known for her role in the Jackass franchise. She was widely respected in the Nevada legal community for her work on the bench and remained a familiar figure in both legal and entertainment circles through her television career.
