Overview

• Erik Menendez was transferred back to Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego after undergoing multiple surgeries to remove kidney stones at a local hospital.
• His legal team, led by Mark Geragos, pressed for a medical furlough to enable his continued recovery in a noncustodial setting.
• In May, a judge resentenced Erik and Lyle to 50 years to life under the Youthful Offender Law, making them immediately eligible for parole.
• The resentencing petition hinged on newly surfaced evidence of alleged sexual abuse by their father, including Erik’s letter and a declaration by Roy Rossello.
• A state parole board hearing is scheduled for August 22, after which it will advise on parole suitability and Governor Newsom will decide on their release.
