This appointment became effective from Dec. 31, 2022, through 2024.
Mr. Dewane has served in the Ingham County Prosecutor’s Office since 2001, including the past twelve years as Deputy Chief Assistant. In that role, he has conducted over 80 felony trials, including numerous homicide cases. He has also led the office’s screening division and worked as a liaison to law enforcement agencies in their investigations of serious, violent, and gun-related crimes.
Prior to serving as a prosecutor, John Dewane was an attorney in private practice in St. Joseph, Michigan, where he represented criminal defendants as well as local governments prosecuting individuals for traffic and ordinance violations. Upon graduating from the Thomas M. Cooley Law School in 1988, Mr. Dewane represented indigent clients in various legal areas while employed at the Berrien County Legal Services Bureau.
“It is an honor to be appointed as Ingham County Prosecutor by the Judges of the 30th Circuit Court. As a prosecutor, I’m excited to continue serving Ingham County in this new role. I look forward to working with law enforcement, the judiciary, community leaders, and the citizens of Ingham County to increase public safety by pursuing appropriate criminal charges of appropriate severity.
We must work together to address violent crimes, working with police in Lansing and across the county. Police and prosecutors are on the front lines of addressing the increase in gun violence in our county, and we must improve this crucial partnership as we investigate and prosecute violent crimes – such as homicides and gun crimes.
As a career prosecutor, I understand that leading this department is a new challenge. It’s one that I am excited, and ready to pursue, and I’m asking for our community’s support as we work together to seek justice for the victims my office serves.
Most importantly, I look forward to advocating for victims of crimes, ensuring that their voices are heard as we seek justice within the bounds of the law.”
