Daily Journal Staff Report
The man accused of keeping his 81-year-old mother-in-law in a severe state of neglect inside a rotten-smelling San Bruno home faces up to 90 days jail after pleading no contest to elder abuse.
John Thomas Lyons, 56, was also promised that he could have the felony reduced to a misdemeanor halfway through probation if he serves the time successfully. Lyons will be sentenced Oct. 30.
Lyons faced up to five years prison if convicted by trial of the original elder abuse charges.
