A terrified mother calls 911 after her sons try to kill her. Christopher Ervin, and his brother Cameron drugged their parents with Xanax and then brutally attacked them inside the family's Georgia home in 2015. The two brothers were arrested and charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault and armed robbery. The boys blamed the attack on their struggles with drugs and depression. Their parents, Yvonne and Zachary Ervin, supported their sons in court even after the two had attacked them. The two brothers each get 20 years in prison.
In the aftermath of the attack, the brothers were sentenced not only to 20 years in prison but also to 30 years probation. During their time in detention, the brothers had regular visits with their parents. Cameron Ervin, the younger brother, mentioned during his court hearing that he had spent two birthdays in the Gwinnett County Detention Center and had at least 60 visits with his parents. These visits, he said, made him realize the depth of his parents' love for him and his for them. The parents' unwavering support for their sons, even after the attack, was a key factor in the court proceedings. They took the stand on their sons' behalf, asking for leniency. Their plea for a lighter sentence, however, was not granted, and the brothers were given a sentence double the length of what their parents had requested.

According to the provided search results, Christopher and Cameron Ervin, two brothers from Georgia, drugged their parents with Xanax in 2015 before brutally attacking them inside the family's home. The incident occurred in September 2015, when the brothers waited for their parents to fall asleep, cut a gas line, and lit a candle in an attempt to blow up the house. When that failed, they went back inside and tried to smother their parents before beating their mother with a rifle and stabbing their father more than 10 times. Their mother, Yvonne Ervin, managed to call 911, pleading with the operator to save her and her husband, Zachary Ervin. She told the emergency dispatcher that her sons had two firearms and that they had tried to strangle and shoot them while they were asleep. When the police arrived, they found a bloody scene inside the home, and their father emerged from the garage covered in blood. Both parents were hospitalized following the attack. During their trial, the brothers pleaded guilty to several charges, including kidnapping and aggravated assault. Their parents asked for a minimum sentence of 10 years for their sons, stating that they were "redeemable" and had shown genuine remorse. The judge ultimately sentenced each brother to 20 years in prison, with an additional 30 years of probation. Throughout the ordeal, the parents stood by their children and publicly defended them, saying that their sons had overcome issues with drugs and depression.
