The case has been unusual from the start: A man is accused of shooting three college students as they walked past his Burlington apartment in a shocking act of violence with no apparent motive.
The victims — Hisham Awartani, Kinnan Abdalhamid and Tahseen Ali Ahmad — and their families believe that Jason Eaton targeted the trio because they are Palestinian, perhaps out of some twisted form of retribution for the Hamas attack on Israel only weeks earlier. The young men were speaking a mix of English and Arabic, and two wore Palestinian scarves known as keffiyehs.
But prosecutors say they found no proof that the accused shooter harbored anti-Palestinian views. And as Seven Days previously reported, Eaton had posted messages on social media that seemed to express sympathy for the Palestinian cause.
Now, a series of legal developments has further complicated the case, calling into question whether the victims will be able to attend the trial of the man they say tried to take their lives. sevendaysvt.com/news/crime-n…

The owners of Healthy Living markets are contesting their employees’ successful union vote and are seeking to invalidate the results.
At the same time, the union the employees hope to join, Workers United, has filed unfair labor-practice allegations against Healthy Living and accused them of “union busting” tactics.
Employees at the market’s three stores in Vermont and New York State voted on April 30 to unionize by a margin of 105-69. But in a May 8 filing with the National Labor Review Board, Healthy Living alleged that Workers United had illegally pressured its employees ahead of the election. sevendaysvt.com/news/busines…
