## Resource

The trial for Jason Eaton, who allegedly shot three Palestinian college students on Prospect Street last November, has officially begun—with jury selection underway. Eaton, now dressed in a suit instead of prison gear, faces three counts of attempted murder and is fighting an insanity defense, claiming the CIA manipulated him. Tensions were high following the October 7th events, and while all victims survived (one paralyzed), the case hinges on whether jurors can separate the act from legal responsibility. The judge had to clarify confusion among potential jurors, and testimony—including from the victims themselves—is set to begin Monday.
