CIA or God? Trial of Jason Eaton | Tulsa News

A Vermont man, Jason Eaton, stands trial for shooting three Palestinian college students in November, claiming he was acting on divine orders from CIA and Mossad via FM radio. Now 51, he doesn’t deny firing the gun but argues he was legally insane, citing a delusional disorder triggered by misinterpreting NPR broadcasts after losing his job. The prosecution counters with evidence of intent and a state psychiatrist’s testimony that Eaton wasn’t mentally ill. Found with multiple guns, including the weapon used in the attack, Eaton faces a jury tasked with deciding whether his actions were driven by madness or malice — while one victim remains paralyzed from the injuries.
