1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. It is Tuesday, March twenty fourth, and

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: a Marilyn man has been charged with murder. Is making

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: headlines because this man is charged with shooting someone and

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: he has no arms and no legs. With that, welcome

5
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: to this episode of Amy and TJ Robes. That is

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: without question a big part of the headlines and a

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: lot of attention this story is getting because a lot

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: of people up frankly, how is this possible?

9
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 2: Well, and add to that, he was driving a vehicle

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: at the time of the shooting reported least, so that

11
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 2: also is puzzling to think, Wow, this man who has

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: no arms, no legs is driving and is able to

13
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: keep driving while witnesses claim he shot someone in the head.

14
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: And on top of that, in terms of the headline

15
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: making part of this story, he is also a professional

16
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: corn hole player who has been featured by news outlets

17
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: for years.

18
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 1: I guess that's still would have made headlines. Professional cornhole

19
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: player charged with murder? Right, They oftentimes lead with something

20
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: that's correct. That kind of thing makes someone have an attention,

21
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: have got them attention. This is still a bizarre story.

22
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: This did happen?

23
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 2: When was the date on this This happened I believe

24
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 2: on Sunday, Sunday evening, and he.

25
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 3: Was captured a few hours later.

26
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 1: All right, so let's tell you what we're talking about.

27
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: Twenty seven year old Dayton James Webber. Now, most folks

28
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: robes wouldn't know that name, but he has become familiar

29
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: to a certain degree, not just because robes he competes

30
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: as a professional corn hole player. They're not necessarily big superstars.

31
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: But he got attention because he was doing it and

32
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: served as an inspiration quite frankly, in history.

33
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: Yes, he was featured as, yes, someone who overcame his

34
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: physical limitations and was able to do things that most

35
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: people can't do with full arms and legs.

36
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: He was a football player, a wrestler.

37
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: He yeah, then decided to specifically get into cornhole and

38
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: he's really good at it.

39
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 3: He's a champion.

40
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: And yes, people are looking to him and have been

41
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: looking to him for years saying if he can do

42
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: what I can do it, look at what Dayton James

43
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: Webber is able to do. He absolutely has been an

44
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: inspiration to many.

45
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: And we can get more into what exactly happened with

46
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: him medically if you will, but this has been something

47
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: a condition when he was a child, and his right

48
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: and left arm amputated, right and left leg amputate. It

49
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't have those limbs beyond the elbow, I guess

50
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: you could say. And also it's above the knee is

51
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: where his legs are arputated amputated. So this is who

52
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: we're talking about with ropes. He found a way to

53
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: manage doing corn hole, at least by being able to

54
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: clasp that bag in some way and tossing it, and

55
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: was effective in doing it. It's impressive when you watch it.

56
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 3: It is, it really is.

57
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: We've been watching some years of him doing his thing

58
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: and it is very impressive. So it makes obviously what

59
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: now he is accused of all the more horrific. He

60
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: is facing first and second degree murder charges, two counts

61
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 2: of assault in the first degree, and the use of

62
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: a firearm in the commission of a felony. But when

63
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: you hear the details about how this all went down,

64
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: according to two passengers who were in the back seat,

65
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 2: it's a head scratcher.

66
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: So as simple as that, folks. Yes, there were, according

67
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: to police, at least two witnesses to this who were

68
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: sitting in the backseat of a car. While Weber was

69
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: driving this vehicle and another passenger was in the passenger seat. Now,

70
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: according to authorities, were olden. According to these passengers, whatever

71
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 1: argument took place, Weber allegedly shoots the passenger and then

72
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: kind of some confusing and chaotic scenes play out for

73
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: the next couple hours.

74
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 3: That's right, so he's driving.

75
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: To the people in the back seat, he pulls out

76
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: the firearm and shoots him twice in the head while driving,

77
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: and then pulls over.

78
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 3: According to the two folks in the back seat.

79
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: And by the way, we don't know exactly what the

80
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: relationships are between or among these four folks, but police

81
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: say they were friendly with one another.

82
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 3: They all knew each other.

83
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 2: So reportedly, according to the two witnesses in the back seat,

84
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: Weber then asks them to help him pull Wells's body

85
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: out of the car. And we mentioned to the man

86
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: who was killed, twenty seven year old Bradrick Michael Wells,

87
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: Bradrick Wells. So he said, hey, guys, help me pull

88
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 2: his body out of the vehicle. The two people in

89
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: the back seat were like, ah, no, we're not doing that. Finally,

90
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 2: someone doing something smart. We see too many movies where

91
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: folks just kind of do things that they know they

92
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: shouldn't do.

93
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 3: These two folks were smart.

94
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 2: They got out of the vehicle and they ran, they fled,

95
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 2: and they eventually were able to flag down a police officer.

96
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: They get an officer and start telling their story. Sure,

97
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: and then they were able to fairly quickly track down Weber.

98
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: But they also were able to find he had, apparently,

99
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: according to authorities, dumped this man's body out in the

100
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: middle of the wide open space for all the public

101
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: to see. Essentially.

102
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, so apparently two hours after this all took place,

103
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: please got a call of a body found in a yard,

104
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: and yes, it was in fact Wells.

105
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 3: And then yes, they found Weber by locating his vehicle.

106
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: It's so incredible the way we now have our surveillance

107
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,119
Speaker 2: system set up in this country. So yes, they were

108
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 2: able to locate his car one hundred and fifty miles

109
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 2: away from where the body was found in Virginia. He

110
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 2: actually ended up in a hospital he was being treated

111
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: for an unknown medical issue. But as soon as he

112
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: was released from the hospital, police arrested him and he

113
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 2: is behind bars in Virginia right now waiting extradition to Maryland.

114
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: And again, I guess it is wrote so much of

115
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: this story and people will focus on again, if this

116
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: wasn't a cornhole player, and this wasn't a quadruple amputee.

117
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: Not sure how many of the headlines a story like

118
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: this would make, but it is at least it makes

119
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: you stop and wonder. But it also Rob said it's

120
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: not a positive necessarily, but oftentimes we talk about folks

121
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: being having not disabled, but differently able. Correct, And to

122
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: hear that someone a quadruple amputee is living a full

123
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: life to the point they're driving around in a car,

124
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: competing in cornhole, doing all these things, and in fact

125
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: even murdering somebody, it's an odd thing to look at

126
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: like wow. Again, it seems odd to say that you

127
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: look at it and say, wow, they're capable of anything

128
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: anybody else is, but robes. It is a little fascinating,

129
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: head scratching and hard for us to get our heads around.

130
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: How he was able to drive the car, first of all,

131
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: is incredible because we have seen, have we not, in

132
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: various shows and things on TVs stories they're able to

133
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: sometimes outfit a car for someone with a disability. So

134
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: we don't know that for sure. I didn't see anywhere

135
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: police describe that.

136
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: No, because and to your point, there are several articles

137
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: out there that exactly specify what you're saying. First of all,

138
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 2: it's incredible that he's able to drive a car. Second,

139
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: it's kind of remarkable that he's able to shoot a gun. Now,

140
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: imagine being able to do both of those things while

141
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: you have no arms and no legs. It really is

142
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: one of those, as you pointed out, head scratchers. There's

143
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: YouTube videos that he has touted and he's put on

144
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: his social media. One of them is entitled no hands,

145
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: No feet shooting nine millimeter handgun.

146
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 3: You and I both watched it. He is proficient, Yeah, and.

147
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: I still don't know how. I watched the video, and

148
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: I'm still not sure how he does it right, because

149
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: again he has I'm not sure digits. I guess at

150
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: the end of his arm. There's a way he's able

151
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: to pull that trigger on a vehicle, on the weapon

152
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: and he's still kind of gripping it crazy. It sound

153
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: almost the same way he was doing the bags and

154
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: corn hole, using both to kind of squeeze and hold

155
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: the weapon upright. How he did that and was driving

156
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: the car eyes just and pulled a trigger like I don't.

157
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: I really don't know how he did it, so no,

158
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: and did this safely. Apparently was able to pull over.

159
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: Yes, hey, hey, helped me get the body out, because obviously

160
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 2: that would be I mean, look, this sounds crazy, but

161
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: that would be a hard thing to do as well.

162
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: With no hands, no legs, how do you get rid

163
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: of a body. It's hard enough for people who have

164
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: no limitations. So yeah, he was asking for help and

165
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 2: his friends said no way. And by the way, he

166
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: lost his limbs. We were talking early on ten months old.

167
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 2: I believe he had a bacterial infection and was given

168
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: about a three percent chance to live.

169
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 3: So he really is a walking miracle. He's talked about it.

170
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 2: He's inspired folks because of it, the fact that he

171
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 2: was just able to survive that infection and then to

172
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: thrive given his limitations. But yes, he is an official.

173
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: He is a professional corn hole athlete, and I didn't

174
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 2: know that was even a thing, but it is. And

175
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 2: in fact, the whole Cornhole Association is trying to get

176
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: this to become an event at the Olympics. That's how

177
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: big of a deal it is in some circles. And

178
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: certainly he was at the top of his game in Maryland.

179
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: It looks if every once in a while, Look it's

180
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: not appointment viewing, but every once in a while you're

181
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: going through ESPN on a random day at a random time,

182
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: and nothing else is on, and you see a corn

183
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: hole championship place and we stop and check it out

184
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: because it's impressive. So it's a thing. It hasn't gotten

185
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: to where it needs to be, but still it's out there.

186
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: But Robes no matter what I mean, I can't you

187
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: give me a year to go out there and practice

188
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: corn hole with two arms and hands. I'm not going

189
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: to be at a championship level. That what he's doing

190
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: is wildly it's weird to say, and so don't it.

191
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: Don't take this the wrong way. But it's impressive, Yeah,

192
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: what he did, it's not right. It seems weird to say,

193
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: I'm impressive that he pulled off a murder. I'm impressive.

194
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: It's impressive that he is able, Yeah, to do all this.

195
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: That is impressive, awful that he used his ability to

196
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: possibly take a life. But I am it is robe.

197
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: It's the fascination and us not really understanding how he

198
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: pulled this off.

199
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 2: Yes, Fascination is a good word to describe because everyone's

200
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 2: trying to imagine how it all happened, how it all worked.

201
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: But obviously he has lived with this his entire life,

202
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 2: so he knows how to successfully do whatever it is

203
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 2: he puts his mind to.

204
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 3: Is how many people have put it.

205
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: So Yeah, by the way, he was named the best

206
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 2: corn hole player in Maryland in twenty twenty signed a

207
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 2: professional pro cornhole contract in twenty twenty one, and he

208
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 2: had a six year contract, so he was in the

209
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: middle of it. It's also fascinating and sad to think

210
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: that he has just thrown all that hard work, all

211
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 2: that determination, all that success, all that inspiration out the door,

212
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 2: potentially with one angry moment.

213
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

214
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 2: Heah.

215
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: We have to always watch a bunch of these cases

216
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: and stories. I have to say he is an innocent

217
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: man right now, innocent until proven otherwise. We don't know

218
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: exactly what happened in that car, but police say there

219
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: are two people who do know what happened in that car,

220
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: saw it and have reported it now and say there

221
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: is no doubt about what took place. But stay here,

222
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: folks will get more into and robed. You were just

223
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: saying Dayton James Webber. It's not somebody in the name

224
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: people know, but he had had a hell of a run,

225
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: a hell of a successful run, and a hell robes

226
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: of a life to have such to be such a

227
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: young man. He's twenty seven years old, and as crazy

228
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: as it sounds, he had his whole life ahead of him.

229
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: Stay here, we'll tell you more about the man who

230
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: serves or has served as such an inspiration for so.

231
00:11:53,760 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 2: Many Welcome back, everyone to this episode of Amy and TJ,

232
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 2: where we are talking about a quadruple amputee professional cornhole

233
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: player now charged with murder. Two witnesses in the back

234
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 2: seat of his car say they saw him drive, pull

235
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 2: out a handgun and shoot the front seat passenger twice

236
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: in the head, killing him. There is a lot to

237
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: unpack with this story. There's the fascination of how he

238
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: did it. There's the question of why he did it.

239
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 2: We know that there was some sort of argument according

240
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,599
Speaker 2: to the back seat passengers, and look, this is somebody.

241
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 2: The why is a big, big issue here because of

242
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 2: what he's accused of compared to who he's been known

243
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 2: for and known as for so many years.

244
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 3: He's been the spotlight since he was young. At eleven years.

245
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 2: Old, he was profiled by the local NBC affiliate about

246
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 2: his athletic prowess and what he was able to do

247
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 2: with his body given.

248
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 3: The fact that he had no arms and no legs.

249
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 3: He was you know, the.

250
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: End of the newscast where you have the inspirational story.

251
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 2: He was that story for so many news outlets for

252
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: so many years. He was the kid that made us

253
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: all think we could do anything.

254
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: Oh then he guess he could still be. Don't know again,

255
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: don't have all the answers. He was just arrested yesterday,

256
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: so always want to leave room for that. But Robes, Yeah,

257
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: I mean he had many years or has many years

258
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: left and many years potentially left of being an inspiration,

259
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: of being more of a name that people were possibly

260
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: going to know. What he did up until this other

261
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: guy died has been inspirational.

262
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. And with the sport coming up the way it

263
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: is now and there's a big push to make it

264
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 2: be a bigger, more widely recognized and acknowledged sport, yeah,

265
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 2: he was riding that wave. I don't know the ESPN

266
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 2: features because I'm not a big ESPN watcher, but do

267
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 2: you know ESPN's sc Features and ESPN Sports Center. They

268
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 2: both profiled Weber and in the most recent years giving

269
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: him accolades for overcoming But I thought this was really interesting.

270
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 2: ESPN Sports Center gave gave him a spot on one

271
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: of its Top ten plays segments.

272
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 3: Are you familiar with that? I know you're laughing at me,

273
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 3: but I don't know what any of.

274
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: This is familiar. Here's the thing.

275
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 3: Everybody is except for a Wah, except for am Wah.

276
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 2: So they show him this is just like three years ago,

277
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 2: making four consecutive shots, and one of them, I guess

278
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: was a really almost impossible shot to make until he

279
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 2: did it. And the sportscaster or whoever was announcing who

280
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 2: whatever anchor was, said this Dayton Weber, remember the name

281
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: that is so ominous now given what's been happening.

282
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 3: But he was the guy. He was the he was

283
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 3: the inspirational name.

284
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 2: He was. When you heard his name, you thought, man,

285
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: if he can do what, I can do it. And

286
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 2: this is just such an unbelievable fall from grace. And

287
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 2: there are a lot of questions surrounding this case, but

288
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: again I think the biggest one is why, why it's

289
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 2: just so sad, and to your point, we still have

290
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 2: to wait the details. We still have to let him

291
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: have his day in court, and certainly we have not

292
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 2: heard directly yet from Dayton wherever, but we will stay

293
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 2: on top of this story. We appreciate you as always

294
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 2: for listening to us. I'm Nami Robach alongside TJ. Holmes.

295
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 3: We will talk to you soon
