Cult secrets and chilling 911 calls exposed at trial of polygamist mother who stabbed her baby to death

Frantic 911 calls have laid bare the moment a young mother living in a polygamist cult stabbed her 13-month-old daughter to death.
Chloe Driver, 24, is on trial in Georgia accused of murdering Hannah inside a home she was visiting with her husband and his two other wives in December 2020.
She does not contest that she killed the toddler and wrote disturbing letters confessing to the crime, but has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
She was ‘one of three wives’ who had ‘radical views’ and ‘alternative religious names they assigned to each other.’
Driver was just 20 years old when she killed her daughter. She met her husband, Brian Joyce, when she was 17 and he was 38, the court heard.
He was known as ‘Z’ or ‘Benyamin’, and created contracts for each of his young wives and ‘indoctrinated’ Driver into his ‘whacky beliefs.’
The polygamist group did not believe in modern medicine, and little Hannah did not have a birth certificate, nor had she ever been to a doctor.
During opening statements on Tuesday, the state revealed the three wives and their husband ‘participated in alternative healing practises like drinking their own urine and sensory deprivation.’
‘They collectively as a group engaged in a thought process that they had a higher consciousness than the rest of the world… They were pretty nomadic and didn’t have strong roots anywhere.’
One of the 911 calls played in court was made by Jessica, the second wife of the group.
