Erik Menendez has been diagnosed with a “serious medical condition,” his attorney said Tuesday.
Menendez and his brother Lyle are currently in prison for the 1989 shotgun murder of their parents, Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez and Jose Menendez.
The specifics of Erik’s condition have not been disclosed, though TMZ later reported he’s suffering from kidney stones. However, his attorney, Mark Geragos, called for Erik’s immediate release from prison due to his illness.
“Erik is having a serious medical condition right now,” Geragos told TMZ.
“I just think he should be parole furloughed, I think is the proper term, and he could be medically furloughed in advance of the hearing so that he can work with the parole attorney and get up to speed and be ready and do it and give it his best shot. I think that it’s the only fair and equitable thing to do,” he said.
