Erik Menendez has been hospitalized due to kidney stones, leading his lawyer to request immediate release on medical grounds. Both Erik and Lyle Menendez were convicted of murdering their parents in 1996 and initially sentenced to life without parole. Following resentencing to 50 years to life, they became eligible for parole after 30 years. A judge acknowledged that the decision did not imply immediate release but rather future opportunities for freedom. Erik’s lawyer insists that a medical furlough is fair for proper preparation ahead of upcoming parole hearings.
