A Maryland professional cornhole player who lost all four limbs in infancy is now facing a possible life sentence in a homicide case that has drawn national attention. A Charles County grand jury has indicted 27-year-old Dayton James Webber on charges including first-degree murder and use of a firearm in a violent felony in the March 22 shooting death of 27-year-old Bradrick Wells, reports WJLA. Prosecutors say Wells was shot in front of two witnesses during an argument inside Webber's vehicle, before his body was left in a yard in Charlotte Hall. Webber was located hours later at a Virginia hospital and arrested; he remains held without bond.
His legal team acknowledges he fired the gun but argues "he had to kill or be killed" after Wells threatened to shoot him, per WJLA and the Washington Post. Prosecutors counter they have seen "no evidence of self-defense." Wells' mother also disputes the defense's argument, saying her son, "did everything he could to help him [Webber]," who responded with "evilness," per the Post. She adds that Wells had a license to carry a handgun but wouldn't have needed one to defend himself against Webber. The indictment, announced Monday, moves the case to Charles County Circuit Court with a trial date still to be set. It's possible prosecutors will present Webber's own videos of himself shooting a handgun and rifle to show he could handle a firearm despite having no hands.
