Assistant Washtenaw County Prosecutor Lou Danner III opened his closing statement in the Jourdan Lewis domestic violence trial the same way he opened his opening statement: He knew what he was doing. He knew what he was doing was wrong. Yet he did it anyway. Danner III then reviewed the facts of the case again with the jury, including going through the accuser telling Jourdan Lewis it was not ok for her to be struck by a pillow after the first strike and he did it anyway. He also took the tape measure out and placed it on the stand in front of the jury to show the distance between the accuser and Lewis during the pillow throwing.
