LOS ANGELES (AP) — An attorney is seeking Erik Menendez’s release from prison because of a medical condition after he was taken to a hospital.

An attorney for the Menendez brothers, who were convicted in the infamous 1989 murders of their parents, says Erik is suffering from a "serious" medical condition and should be released from prison immediately.

Erik Menendez has been hospitalized with kidney stones, according to his lawyer – who called for the release of the famed parent killer ahead of his August parole hearing. “It’s a serious condition,” his attorney Mark Geragos told TMZ of his 54-year-old client’s diagnosis.
