Vermont jury convicts Jason Eaton of attempted murder in 2023 shooting of three Palestinian students

Jurors rejected Eaton's insanity defense, and the 51-year-old now faces up to life in prison. He had claimed the CIA and Mossad sent him orders over FM radio. No hate crime charges were ever filed, despite calls for a hate crime investigation.

• The three students, all 20 at the time, were shot in Burlington in November 2023; Hisham Awartani was paralyzed from the waist down.
• Jurors deliberated several hours after a weeklong trial with testimony from the three wounded men and psychiatric experts for both sides.
• Eaton is jailed pending sentencing, which has not been scheduled.
