Erik Menendez taken to hospital with 'serious' condition, lawyer tells US media

Erik Menendez, one of the brothers convicted of murdering their parents in 1989, has been taken to a hospital with a "serious" medical condition, according to his lawyer. The incident comes just weeks before Erik and his brother, Lyle Menendez, are expected to attend a parole hearing after serving decades in prison. The Menendez brothers were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the 1989 murders of their wealthy parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, in their Beverly Hills home. The case gained national attention and sparked a high-profile trial that was extensively covered by the media. While the details of Erik Menendez's current medical condition have not been disclosed, his lawyer has stated that it is a "serious" issue. The upcoming parole hearing, scheduled for the near future, will likely be a significant event as the brothers continue to navigate the legal system and their path to potential release.
