## Resource

Jason Eaton’s trial heats up as prosecutors unveil damning evidence, including a chilling audio clip where he claims to be hearing voices and acting on government orders. Amid mounting pressure, Eaton attempted to fire his lawyers and take over his own defense — but the judge denied him, calling it too late in proceedings. The prosecution countered with their own psychiatric expert, who testified Eaton suffers from a personality disorder, not a psychotic one qualifying for legal insanity under Vermont law. She linked his state of mind to job loss, financial stress, and marijuana use — fueling paranoia that led to the shooting. Three students remain scarred, one paralyzed; a gun found in Eaton’s apartment ties directly to the crime scene. Jury deliberations loom — possibly starting tomorrow.
