Chloe Driver sentenced to life in prison
Chloe Driver was found guilty but mentally ill of murdering her 13-month-old daughter, Hannah Nicole Driver, by stabbing her multiple times with a kitchen knife. The incident occurred on December 8, 2020, when police responded to a 911 call at a home in Canton, Georgia. Driver and her infant daughter were found with stab wounds, and the child later died at the hospital. Driver had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, but the jury rejected this plea. She was sentenced to life in prison with parole eligibility after 30 years, plus an additional 20 years to be served concurrently. The case involved elements of a nomadic, polygamist lifestyle and mental illness, with the defense arguing that these factors led to Driver's psychosis.
