Erik Menendez returns to prison after hospital stay: report
Erik Menendez, one of the brothers serving a 50 years-to-life sentence for the 1989 murders of his parents in Beverly Hills, has returned to state prison in California after being hospitalized last month for kidney problems, according to a family member. "My dad is out of the hospital and back at the prison, preparing for our upcoming parole hearing,' his stepdaughter Talia Menendez wrote on Instagram stories, TMZ reports. Menendez was temporarily removed from the San Diego-area Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility last month and hospitalized for about a week for what his attorney called a 'serious medical condition.' The treatment included multiple surgeries to remove kidney stones, TMZ reported at the time. Menendez, 54, and his brother Lyle, 57, are both serving lengthy sentences for the 1989 killing of their parents José, a prominent record executive, and Kitty Menendez, in a case that has dominated headlines for decades. In May, the pair's life sentences were reduced to 50 years to life, making them eligible for parole. They are slated for back-to-back parole hearings on August 21 and 22. Last month, a judge ordered Los Angeles prosecutors to explain why the original murder convictions should not be re-examined, given new evidence that emerged, that could support the brothers' claims they killed their parents over alleged persistent sexual abuse at the hands of their father. The Menendez brothers' first trials ended in hung juries and the second saw the judge exclude evidence including testimony from family members who said they had witnessed or heard about the alleged abuse. Earlier this year, California Governor Gavin Newsom ordered a 'risk assessment' investigation into whether the brothers are fit to re-enter society. The governor could grant the brothers clemency though he has indicated any decision regarding their sentences would not occur until after their parole hearing. The Menendez case has been the subject of media interest, books, films and documentaries for years. Last year, their story was fodder for the Netflix series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. Kim Kardashian visited the brothers in prison that year and has advocated for their release.

Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Denzel Perryman was released from Los Angeles County jail on Monday, Aug. 4 after Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office decided not to file criminal charges following Perryman's arrest on weapons violation charges, online records show. Perryman, 32, was stopped Friday, Aug. 1 by South Los Angeles Station deputies for vehicle code violations, authorities said, and during a search deputies discovered five firearms in Perryman's vehicle, two of which were assault style rifles.

Chargers LB Denzel Perryman released from jail, charges dropped after arrest on weapons charges
Chargers linebacker Denzel Perryman was released from a Los Angeles County jail Monday afternoon, three days after he was arrested on weapons charges. Per court records obtained by multiple outlets, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman declined to pursue charges. Perryman made an appearance at Chargers facilities Monday evening. Perryman's teammate Daiyan Henley shared video of his appearance on Instagram. Per the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, deputies pulled Perryman over Friday night for vehicle code violations. Deputies say that they searched Perryman's vehicle and found five firearms, two of which were "assault style rifles." "On August 1, 2025, at 9:30 p.m., South Los Angeles Station deputies conducted a traffic stop on Los Angeles Chargers football player Denzel Perryman, 32, for vehicle code violations," a statement from the LACSD reads. "During the traffic stop deputies discovered five firearms in Mr. Perryman's vehicle, two of which were assault style rifles. He was arrested and booked on weapons violation charges and was cooperative with deputies." It's not clear what prompted the search of Perryman's car. Per the LACSD, the weapons resulted in multiple weapons violations. Perryman was detained and held without bail at the South Los Angeles Sheriff's Station. He remained in custody over the weekend and was scheduled for a hearing at an Inglewood courthouse Tuesday morning. But prosecutors declined to pursue charges, and Perryman was released from custody Monday afternoon. Perryman's agent Ron Butler provided a statement to The Athletic Monday night. 'We're grateful the matter has been resolved,' Butler said, via a statement to The Athletic. 'At this time, Denzel is focused on getting back to his family and teammates. Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters Monday that he visited Perryman in jail on Sunday. 'He was in good spirits,' Harbaugh said. 'I love Denzel. He's always done right. He's never been in trouble. Got a beautiful family, and we're just letting the due process play out.' Perryman, 32, is a 10-season NFL veteran. He played his first six seasons with the Chargers before stints with the Las Vegas Raiders and Houston Texans. He returned to the Chargers in 2024 and played in and started 11 games. A Pro Bowl selection in 2021, Perryman projects to play a key role with the Chargers inside linebacker corps this season and is listed as a starter on the Chargers depth chart.
