I wrote a closing statement recently and was in the same situation.

First off, it'd be best if you went through and read all your witnesses statements so you know all aspects of the case (for your side, defense or prosecution). Also, you will want to get together with the person doing the Closing Statement on your side so that both statements will have a cohesive theme. Read the rubric that your Opening needs to cover, make sure you cover those points and then basically you're just letting the jury know your side of the argument and why your witness is innocent.
