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

According to TMZ, Menendez is currently being treated for kidney stones. His lawyer is now advocating for his release ahead of the scheduled parole hearing in August.

“This is a significant health issue,” stated attorney Mark Geragos to TMZ. “I firmly believe he should be considered for parole furlough, if that’s the accurate term, allowing for medical furlough ahead of the hearing. This would enable him to collaborate with the parole attorney, prepare adequately, and present his case effectively. It’s the only fair and just course of action.”

Fox News Digital has reached out to Geragos.

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.
