Erik Menendez is in hospital for a medical condition. His attorney seeks his release

Menendez Brothers - (ASSOCIATED PRESS)

An attorney is seeking Erik Menendez's release from prison because of a medical condition after he was taken to a hospital.

The 57-year-old has been serving a life without parole sentence along with his brother Lyle Menendez after being convicted of murdering their parents in their Beverly Hills, California, home in 1989. A judge recently resentenced the brothers to 50 years to life, making them immediately eligible for parole. They will appear in front of the state parole board Aug. 21 and 22.
