Connor has been made a special assistant prosecutor, State’s Attorney James Glasgow said Friday.Connor was sworn in on Thursday morning.“I made a special commitment during my campaign for the office of state’s attorney to convene a special grand jury to investigate public corruption. Charlie Connor brings with him a historical perspective on local corruption that w'ill prove invaluable in helping me fulfill my commitment,” Glasgow said in a written statement.“Our initial conferences, wherein we’ve compared notes on various issues, have been very productive.
