Chloe Driver Sentenced • Brutal Stabbing of Her 1 Year Old • Sentences

CHEROKEE COUNTY, Ga. - The woman found guilty of stabbing her 13-month-old daughter to death in Canton four years ago was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole on Thursday.

Chloe Driver, 24, was convicted of killing 13-month-old Hannah Nicole Driver in November.

Driver pleaded insanity, but the jury rejected her plea and found her criminally responsible for her actions.

She was found guilty but mentally ill of malice murder, felony murder, cruelty to children in the first degree, and aggravated assault by a jury in Cherokee County. In handing down the sentence, the judge noted that Chloe attempted suicide after the killing and referenced testimony from three psychologists about her "profound" mental illness. She acknowledged the jury's verdict of guilty but mentally ill.

Driver was also sentenced given 20 years to be served concurrently due to the victim’s age. The Georgia Department of Corrections will determine how her mental health treatment is managed.
