LOS ANGELES (AP) — An attorney is seeking Erik Menendez’s release from prison because of a medical condition after he was taken to a hospital.

Attorney Mark Geragos is calling on Gov. Gavin Newsom to grant Erik Menendez early release on medical grounds.

Erik Menendez and his brother, Lyle, have spent more than 35 years prison for killings their parents in 1989 in a case that over the past year has gained renewed public attention following the release of Netflix's "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story" and various documentaries.
