Judge Jackie Glass, O.J. Simpson Jurist, Dies at 76

Judge Jackie Glass, who notably presided over O.J. Simpson's sentencing, has died at the age of 76. Her passing occurred on Friday afternoon in Las Vegas. Glass was a familiar face on television, having succeeded Nancy Grace as the host of the courtroom reality show "Swift Justice" for its second and concluding season in 2011.

Before her television career, Glass had a distinguished legal career, serving eight years on Nevada's Eighth Judicial District Court. During her tenure, she presided over numerous civil and criminal cases before retiring from the bench in 2011. Her most high-profile judicial act was sentencing O.J. Simpson to 33 years in prison in 2008, a consequence of his convictions for armed robbery and kidnapping stemming from a Las Vegas hotel confrontation.
