一场聚焦精神状态、为期六天的审判结束后，佛蒙特州陪审团仅用约两小时便裁定杰森·伊顿在2023年枪击三名巴勒斯坦学生一案中有罪；量刑以及永久性伤残的影响仍待裁定。

杰森·伊顿究竟是精神错乱到不知道自己在做什么，还是清楚地知道近距离开枪会造成什么后果？这是奇滕登县陪审团于2026年9月21日回答的问题，答案直截了当：三项罪名全部成立。在一场为期六天、几乎完全围绕精神状态展开的审判后——伊顿从未否认自己扣动了扳机——陪审员仅用约两小时便否定了法律上的精神错乱抗辩，裁定这名51岁的伯灵顿男子三项二级谋杀未遂罪成立⁠4⁠5。

3二级谋杀未遂罪 14
~2h为期六天的审判后陪审团审议时间 5
20年每项罪名的推定最低刑期 22

从判决书上看，结果很简单。伊顿被下令羁押候审；各项罪名最高均可判终身监禁，推定最低刑期为每项20年。量刑日期尚未安排。两小时的审议解决的是刑事责任问题；仍待确定的是最终刑期，而这将决定法院如何处置这起枪击案。近三年来，这起事件一直留在公众记忆中，既是发生在当地人行道上的犯罪，也是全国性的创伤⁠22⁠5。

伊顿开枪打伤的三名男子是20岁的童年好友，来自约旦河西岸的拉姆安拉，曾一起就读于拉姆安拉友谊学校。按照常见拼写，他们分别是布朗大学的希沙姆·阿瓦尔塔尼、三一学院的塔赫辛·阿利艾哈迈德和哈弗福德学院的基南·阿卜杜勒哈米德。他们当时前往伯灵顿探望阿瓦尔塔尼的家人和祖母，度过感恩节周末。一份结案陈词的文字记录将这三人的名字写作沙姆·阿拉塔尼、塔辛·阿里·艾哈迈德和基南·阿卜杜勒哈米德，均为同三人的不同转写⁠22⁠3。

以枪声告终的散步

天黑后，他们在北普罗斯佩克特街散步，交谈时夹杂着英语和阿拉伯语，其中两人戴着凯菲耶头巾。伊顿走下门廊，一言不发地走近他们，随后毫无预警地开枪，使用的是一把鲁格手枪。检方提出的物证并未受到实质性争议：与手枪相匹配的弹壳、从伊顿公寓中找到的手枪，以及受害者关于他未作预警、也未说一句话便开枪的证词⁠22⁠27。

这起案件造成的人员伤害仍在持续，任何裁决都无法消除。阿瓦尔塔尼的拇指、胸部和脊柱中枪，从胸部以下瘫痪；另有说法称他从腰部以下瘫痪，他如今长期患有截瘫。阿利艾哈迈德胸部中枪。阿卜杜勒哈米德逃跑时臀部中枪。三人均幸存，并于2026年9月14日审判首日作证；受害者母亲伊丽莎白·普赖斯曾因相关瘫痪情况和裁决而被提及⁠1⁠2⁠12。

审判的关键在于精神状态，双方描述了截然不同的伊顿。检方主张伊顿是蓄意行事，没有精神疾病或缺陷，在法律上不属于精神错乱，三项罪名均应成立。检方精神科医生贾希拉姆·比斯瓦斯博士于2026年9月17日作证称，伊顿在枪击发生时于法律上精神正常，应承担刑事责任，同时承认他存在心理健康问题。检方暗示案件存在偏见动机，但没有提起仇恨犯罪指控⁠3⁠14。

辩方律师、公设辩护人乔什·奥哈拉和玛格丽特·扬施称这些事件令人悲痛，并辩称伊顿患有精神病性和妄想性障碍，在法律上属于精神错乱，且无能力认识到自己行为的犯罪性质，也无能力使自己的行为符合法律要求。辩方请来一名专家作证称伊顿当时处于精神病性状态，并指出伊顿听到声音，以及他在事发前约两周失去了工作；辩方还播放了一段录于2023年11月30日的采访录音。伊顿在录音中声称，包括中央情报局和摩萨德在内的政府机构通过FM广播指示他行事，上帝则告诉他在10月7日之后保护犹太邻居⁠3⁠15⁠17。

程序上也没有给辩方留下另一条退路。法官此前已裁定伊顿有能力接受审判，并在审判期间驳回了伊顿中途解雇律师、为自己辩护的请求。检方没有提起仇恨犯罪指控，除三项谋杀未遂罪外，也没有认定有关动机或其他罪名的事实⁠16⁠22。

已知

  • 伊顿因2023年11月25日在伯灵顿开枪，被裁定三项二级谋杀未遂罪成立 1
  • 检方主张伊顿有作案意图且精神正常；辩方主张他患有精神病，无法使自己的行为符合法律要求 3
  • 三名受伤学生均幸存，并于2026年9月14日作证 12

未知

  • 具体刑期、各刑期是否连续执行，以及瘫痪情况在量刑时会有多大影响

后续

  • 州检察官在听取家属意见后提出量刑建议，并安排量刑时间

对这些家庭而言，这项裁决为三年的悲痛与抗争画上句号，并宣告发生的是谋杀未遂，而非令人无法理解的悲剧。阿瓦尔塔尼表示，他觉得自己得到了昭雪，并称自己因身份和族裔背景而成为攻击目标。这一关于事件意义的说法，并非刑事罪名本身正式裁定的内容，因为动机并未作为单独罪名提出⁠1⁠22。

仍有重要问题悬而未决。伊顿目前被关押候审，每项罪名最高可判终身监禁。州检察官莎拉·乔治表示，她将在提出量刑建议前听取家属意见。因此，最终的监禁期限、各刑期是否连续执行，以及法院如何权衡永久性截瘫和被驳回的精神错乱抗辩，仍有待裁定⁠22。

播出原貌
  1. One bullet left a Brown student paralyzed from the chest down.
  2. 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.
  3. With jurors rejecting his insanity claim, how much prison time will finally decide this case?
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
