The city prosecutor position was one of his first jobs after graduating from the University of Arizona College of Law in 1972. He stayed only four months before moving to the Pima County Attorney’s Office, where he almost didn’t get hired because the chief deputy county attorney, James Howard, said he thought Roll “was too bashful and quiet to be a trial lawyer.”
Howard was wrong. In his seven years in the office, Roll prosecuted more jury trials than anyone in the office and won almost all of them.
