歩道での銃撃から評決まで
公選弁護人のジョシュ・オハラ氏とマーガレット・ヤンシュ氏による弁護側は、この出来事は悲劇的だと述べ、イートンは精神病性および妄想性障害を伴う法的な心神喪失状態にあり、自らの行為の犯罪性を認識する能力も、行為を制御する能力も欠いていたと主張した。弁護側は、イートンが精神病を患っていたと述べる専門家を証人として呼び、イートンが声を聞いていたことや、約2週間前に職を失ったことを指摘した。また、2023年11月30日の録音インタビューを再生した。その中でイートンは、CIAやモサドを含む政府機関がFMラジオを通じて自分に指示を出し、10月7日以降、神がユダヤ人の隣人を守るよう告げたと主張していた31517。
分かっていること
不明な点
- 具体的な刑期、刑期が連続して執行されるか、麻痺が量刑でどう考慮されるか
今後の展開
- 家族の意見を聞いた後の州検事による勧告と量刑期日の設定
今後の重要事項は未解決のままだ。イートンは拘置され、各件で最高終身刑に直面している。州検事のサラ・ジョージ氏は、量刑を勧告する前に家族の意見を聞くと述べた。刑期の長さ、刑期が連続して執行されるか、永久的な両下肢麻痺と退けられた心神喪失の主張を裁判所がどう考慮するかは、なお決まっていない22。

放送時の内容
- One bullet left a Brown student paralyzed from the chest down.
- All three childhood friends survived, and the Burlington man who shot them on a Thanksgiving-weekend walk now faces up to life in prison on each of three attempted-murder counts.
- With jurors rejecting his insanity claim, how much prison time will finally decide this case?
- On September 21, 2026, a jury in Chittenden Superior Court convicted 51-year-old Burlington man Jason Eaton of three counts of attempted second-degree murder. Jurors deliberated about two hours after a six-day trial. Eaton was ordered jailed pending sentencing. Each count carries up to life in prison with a presumptive minimum of 20 years per count.
- The wounded men were 20-year-old childhood friends from Ramallah in the West Bank who attended Ramallah Friends School together. Identified as Hisham Awartani of Brown University, Tahseen Aliahmad of Trinity College and Kinnan Abdalhamid of Haverford College, they were visiting Awartani's family and grandmother in Burlington for Thanksgiving weekend. A closing-argument transcript rendered the same three names as Sham Aratany, Tasin Ali Ahmed and Kenan Abdelhamid, variant transcriptions of the same men.
- They were on a walk on North Prospect Street after dusk, speaking a mix of English and Arabic, with two wearing keffiyehs. Eaton stepped off his porch, approached without speaking and fired a Ruger pistol without warning. Eaton did not dispute that he was the shooter. Evidence included matching casings and the pistol recovered from Eaton's apartment, and victim testimony that he opened fire without warning.
- Awartani was struck in the thumb and in the chest and spine and was paralyzed from the chest down, also described as paralyzed from the waist down, and lives with paraplegia. Aliahmad was struck in the chest. Abdalhamid was struck in the glute while running away. All three survived and testified on the first day of trial on September 14, 2026. Victim mother Elizabeth Price was cited in connection with the paralysis and the verdict.
- The trial turned on mental state. Prosecutors argued Eaton acted intentionally, had no mental disease or defect, was not insane and was guilty on all three counts. Forensic psychiatrist Dr. Jhilam Biswas testified for the prosecution on September 17, 2026 that Eaton was legally sane at the time of the shooting and criminally responsible, while agreeing he had mental-health issues. The defense by public defenders Josh O'Hara and Margaret Jansch called the events tragic and argued Eaton was legally insane with psychotic and delusional disorder and lacked capacity to appreciate the criminality of his conduct or to conform his conduct. The defense presented an expert who said Eaton was psychotic, pointed to Eaton hearing voices directing him and to losing his job about two weeks earlier, and played a recorded November 30, 2023 interview in which Eaton claimed government agencies including the CIA and Mossad directed him through FM radio and that God told him to protect Jewish neighbors after October 7.
- The judge had previously found Eaton competent to stand trial and during trial denied Eaton's mid-trial attempt to fire his attorneys and represent himself. No hate-crime charges were filed and no additional findings on motive or other charges beyond the three attempted-murder counts were established.
- Families said justice has been rendered after three years of sorrow and struggle. Awartani said he felt vindicated and that he was targeted because of who he is and his heritage.
- Sentencing has not been scheduled. State's Attorney Sarah George said she will seek input from the families before recommending a sentence, leaving the length of prison time, whether terms run consecutively, and how the court weighs permanent paralysis and the rejected insanity claim still to be decided.
