A prosecutor from Texas has joined the Office of the Attorney General\u2019s Criminal Division.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Robert \u201cRobby\u201d Glass Jr., 29, took his oath yesterday as an assistant attorney general before CNMI Supreme Chief Justice Alexandro C. Castro.<\/p>\n

Glass is the seventh prosecutor at the OAG\u2019s Criminal Division as AAG Emily Cohen had left the office a month ago.<\/p>\n

Glass will be handling cases involving traffic, misdemeanor, and juveniles.<\/p>\n

Glass, of Huntsville, Texas, finished law at Saint Mary University in San Antonio. <\/p>\n

Before coming to Saipan, he was a prosecutor handling civil, criminal, and traffic cases in Texas for about three years. He also previously served as a real estate attorney for a year in San Antonio. <\/p>\n

Glass said he came from a small jurisdiction and noted that when he took over as a prosecutor, their juvenile recidivism rate went to zero. <\/p>\n

He said he\u2019s really happy that he helped juveniles who found themselves in legal trouble not become career criminals or commit more crimes. <\/p>\n

Glass found out about the CNMI as he was looking for an island job. Through the Internet, he checked the list of U.S. territories. Glass said when he came across the Commonwealth, he felt it was \u201cjust gorgeous out here.\u201d He said he also read reviews from people from the states who are living here.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo this really captured me and I want to come out here,\u201d said Glass, who just arrived on Saipan last Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love it. It\u2019s awesome. It\u2019s just gorgeous here,\u201d the lawyer said. <\/p>\n

Glass, who likes to play basketball and soccer, said on Saipan he wants to check out paddle boarding and rowing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
