Jourdan Lewis doesn’t believe anything will come of the misdemeanor domestic violence charge he’s facing in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
A trial date has been set for July 24, the same date of the Dallas Cowboys’ first training camp practice in Oxnard, Calif. Lewis, the Cowboys’ third-round draft choice on Friday, pleaded not guilty last month.
Lewis defended himself once again during a conference call with reporters after his selection.
“Like I told everybody else, all charges will be dropped. I think I’ll be exonerated,” Lewis said. “I’m completely innocent. I believe that whole-heartedly.”
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the organization is comfortable with Lewis, and had no hesitation adding him to the team.
