Erik Menendez, one of two Beverly Hills brothers convicted of killing their parents decades ago, has been hospitalized, according to media reports.

Menendez was undergoing treatment for kidney stones, TMZ reported on Tuesday. His attorney is now calling for him to be released ahead of an August parole hearing. 

“It’s a serious condition,” attorney Mark 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.”

Fox News Digital has reached out to Geragos. 

MENENDEZ BROTHERS SCORE CRUCIAL LEGAL VICTORY IN DECADES-LONG FIGHT AS THEY AWAIT POTENTIAL FREEDOM

Erik and his brother Lyle Menendez were sentenced to 50 years to life in prison for the 1989 murders of their parents – Jose and Mary “Kitty” Menendez – in their Beverly Hills mansion. 

The brothers initially claimed intruders broke into the home and killed their parents.

They later described their actions as self-defense after their parents allegedly physically and sexually abused them for years.

The case received renewed attention last year when Netflix released a series and a documentary about the killings. Fans rallied around the brothers and called for their release.

Their parole hearing is scheduled for Aug. 21 and 22.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has the final say, said he plans to make a decision on whether the brothers are suitable for parole by Labor Day if they are recommended for release.
