BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Chittenden County State’s Attorney Sarah George says she does not expect to file a hate crime enhancement against the man accused of shooting three Palestinian students on a Burlington sidewalk last year.
George told reporters on Tuesday that authorities have still not turned up evidence to support such a charge against Jason Eaton, who faces three counts of attempted second-degree murder for shooting the young men near the University of Vermont campus.
Darren Perron spoke with Seven Days’ Derek Brouwer, who reported the story in this week’s issue.
