Jackie Glass family, net worth: All about Nancy Grace's Swift Justice successor as judge dies at 70

Judge Jackie Glass, who succeeded Nancy Grace as host of Swift Justice, has died at the age of 70. Her daughter shared the news of her passing on Friday. Glass spent eight years on Nevada's Eighth Judicial District Court and gained national recognition for presiding over the O.J. Simpson robbery and kidnapping case in 2008. She sentenced Simpson to 33 years in prison, with eligibility for parole after nine years.

Glass was married to Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson, and together they had two daughters, Rebecca and Rachel. Rebecca is a municipal court judge, while Rachel is a comedian and stuntwoman. Rebecca paid tribute to her mother on Facebook, describing Glass as her "rock" and expressing her love and future wishes to see her again.

Glass's legal career began as a criminal-defense lawyer, and she spent 12 years with Wolfson & Glass, the firm she founded with her husband before joining the judiciary. She served on Nevada's Eighth Judicial District Court from 2003 until her retirement in 2011. Her most notable case while on the bench was the O.J. Simpson ruling, which made her a nationally recognized figure.

After leaving the bench, Glass pursued dispute resolution and became a television judge, taking over as host of Swift Justice following Nancy Grace.
