Bryan Layton, Assistant Commonwealth Attorney for Warren County
The Warren County Circuit Court released this today:
On this 21st day of August, 2019, came the Special Grand Jury, by and through their foreman, Juror 158, and move this Honorable Court to appoint Bryan Layton, Esquire to serve as the Special Counsel to assist the Special Grand Jury in its deliberations and to coordinate with the Warren County Commonwealth Attorney’s office, or any successor designee of that office to assist
with the prosecution of those individuals and or entities to which a True Bill was or will be returned;
Whereupon, the Court was advised that the current Commonwealth Attorney, Brian Madden, will be elevated to the Circuit Court bench on September 1, 2019 and Bryan Layton will serve as Commonwealth Attorney for Warren County until a newly elected Commonwealth Attorney for Warren County assumes that office. Any newly elected Commonwealth Attorney or their designee will be wholly unfamiliar with the activities of the Special Grand Jury and the ends of justice dictate that Mr. Layton continue in his role with the Special Grand Jury. The Special Counsel will coordinate with the newly elected Commonwealth Attorney in the prosecution of any matters arising as a result of the activities of the Special Grand Jury. Further, Mr. Layton has agreed to serve as Special Counsel to the Special Grand Jury and to coordinate and assist in any prosecutions arising therefrom at the rate of $90.00 per hour to commence at such time as he is no longer employed by the Warren County Commonwealth Attorney’s office;
Wherefore, it is ADJUDGED, ORDERED, and DECREED that upon leaving the Warren County Commonwealth Attorney’s office, Mr. Layton shall be employed as Special Counsel to assist the Special Grand Jury and coordinate with the Warren County Commonwealth Attorney’s office or their designee in the prosecution of any indictments arising out of the Special Grand Jury at the rate of $90.00 per hour.
