Quad amputee pro cornhole player is denied bond. Attorneys argue he shot his friend in self

Key Points:

• Dayton Webber, a quadruple amputee and professional cornhole player, is charged with first- and second-degree murder for fatally shooting his friend Bradrick Michael Wells during an argument in Charles County, Maryland.
• Webber's attorneys claim he acted in self-defense, citing a longstanding feud and accusing Wells of stealing a gun from Webber, while prosecution emphasizes Webber fled the scene and remains in custody.
• After the shooting, Webber allegedly attempted to remove Wells' body from the car with other passengers, who refused, leading Webber to drive and dump the body approximately 12 miles away before being arrested in Charlottesville, Virginia.
• The case has attracted national attention due to Webber's disability and his ability to operate a firearm, as shown in videos on his YouTube channel, and his prominence as a successful professional cornhole player with televised matches on ESPN.
• Webber, who lost his limbs as an infant due to a severe bacterial infection, has been publicly recognized for overcoming adversity, including a profile on ESPN and a personal essay detailing his medical history on the “Today” show.
