## Resource

A chilling trial in Burlington, Vermont, centers on Jason Eaton, accused of shooting three Palestinian college students in November. He claims he was acting on divine and government orders—received via FM radio and NPR—while insisting he didn’t suffer from insanity. Prosecutors counter with evidence: a state psychiatrist says Eaton was mentally sound, crime lab tests confirm the .380-caliber gun used was his, and the victims—just walking home after a birthday—describe harrowing moments. One is paralyzed. The defense paints Eaton as delusional, blaming job loss and auditory hallucinations. The jury must decide: was this a case of madness or murder?
