Erik Menendez diagnosed with 'serious medical condition,' attorney says

Erik Menendez has been diagnosed with a “serious medical condition," his attorney said Tuesday, weeks before the convicted killer is set to appear at a parole hearing with his brother over the murders of their parents more than three decades ago

Erik Menendez has been diagnosed with a “serious medical condition," his attorney said Tuesday, weeks before the convicted killer is set to appear at a parole hearing with his brother over the murders of their parents more than three decades ago.

A spokesperson for attorney Mark Geragos did not provide details of the condition, and Menendez's family declined to comment.

Menendez, who is in a San Diego prison, was taken to an outside medical facility Friday and he remains in fair condition, a spokesperson for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said.

TMZ first reported the development.

Erik, 54, and Lyle, 57, were resentenced in May to 50 years to life in prison for the shotgun killings of Kitty and José Menendez on Aug. 20, 1989, after a Los Angeles judge found that they did not pose an “unreasonable risk” if they were released.
