The county's chief probate judge has issued an order that investigators revisit the home of the in-laws of county Prosecutor David Leyton after an elder abuse program official claimed she wasn't allowed to visit recently.Judge Jennie E. Barkey issued the order Tuesday after Diane Nims, executive director of the county's Elder Abuse and Exploitation Prevention program, said in a letter to the court that Leyton's 82-year-old mother-in-law rejected a scheduled visit.
Barkey ordered that the elder abuse program conduct a home visit and geriatric assessment of the couple during a visit today instead.
Leyton's in-laws are at the center of legal fight in which his wife and two other siblings are opposing petitions for guardianship and conservatorship requested by another sibling.
