- The case highlights the complexities of mental health issues and familial dynamics in cult settings.
In December 2020, Chloe Driver, a 24-year-old mother, was charged with the murder of her 13-month-old daughter, Hannah, while living in a polygamist cult in Georgia. During her trial, it was revealed that Driver was battling several mental health disorders, including schizoaffective disorder and borderline personality disorder. The defense argued that her actions were a result of insanity, claiming she was delusional at the time of the incident. Prosecutors contended that her primary motivation for the crime was her desire to have her husband all to herself, as she was unable to cope with sharing him with his other wives. Ultimately, the jury deliberated on the evidence presented, including distressing calls made to 911 at the time of the incident and Driver's own writings, leading to her conviction for the heinous act that shocked the community.
