Quadruple amputee pro cornholer from Maryland indicted on first-degree murder charge

The quadruple amputee and professional cornhole player accused of murder in Southern Maryland was indicted Friday by a Charles County grand jury.

Topping 27-year-old Dayton Webber’s six-count indictment is one count of first-degree murder, which carries a maximum penalty of life in prison. Other counts include the use of a firearm in a crime of violence or felony, reckless endangerment and having a loaded handgun in a vehicle. ... According to prosecutors, Webber was driving on March 22 in La Plata with three other people in his car, when, during an argument, he shot and killed the man in the front passenger seat.

Webber is accused of trying to get the other two men to help dump the body of 27-year-old Bradrick Wells, and then doing it himself about 12 miles away in Charlotte Hall after the others refused and left.

“Right now, based on the investigation that we’ve seen, from the witnesses’ statements and everything, we see no evidence of self-defense,” County Deputy State’s Attorney Karen Piper Mitchell said Monday at a news conference held to discuss the indictment.

Shoot someone 2 times in the head without hands? It doesn't say if he has prosthetics. I guess he would have since he lost all his limbs at 10 months old .

Cornhole is beanbags isn't it? Can't be much money in that. I wonder how he could afford a Tesla?
