BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – The man accused of shooting three college students of Palestinian descent in Burlington wants a new lawyer.
Jason Eaton has been in jail for the last eight months after police say he shot three young men as they walked on the sidewalk by his apartment. The crime took place just after the start of the war in Gaza. All three survived, but one was seriously injured.
Eaton is not facing a hate crime charge right now, but he is facing attempted murder charges. And now, he wants a new lawyer.
