WEBVTT - Quadruple Amputee Professional Cornhole Player Charged With Murder 

0:00:02.160 --> 0:00:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, folks. It is Tuesday, March twenty fourth, and

0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:10.040
<v Speaker 1>a Marilyn man has been charged with murder. Is making

0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:14.840
<v Speaker 1>headlines because this man is charged with shooting someone and

0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:18.840
<v Speaker 1>he has no arms and no legs. With that, welcome

0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:22.200
<v Speaker 1>to this episode of Amy and TJ Robes. That is

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 1>without question a big part of the headlines and a

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of attention this story is getting because a lot

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:32.199
<v Speaker 1>of people up frankly, how is this possible?

0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, and add to that, he was driving a vehicle

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.680
<v Speaker 2>at the time of the shooting reported least, so that

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:43.480
<v Speaker 2>also is puzzling to think, Wow, this man who has

0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:46.440
<v Speaker 2>no arms, no legs is driving and is able to

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 2>keep driving while witnesses claim he shot someone in the head.

0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 2>And on top of that, in terms of the headline

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:58.200
<v Speaker 2>making part of this story, he is also a professional

0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:03.720
<v Speaker 2>corn hole player who has been featured by news outlets

0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:04.240
<v Speaker 2>for years.

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.119
<v Speaker 1>I guess that's still would have made headlines. Professional cornhole

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:10.400
<v Speaker 1>player charged with murder? Right, They oftentimes lead with something

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 1>that's correct. That kind of thing makes someone have an attention,

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:18.200
<v Speaker 1>have got them attention. This is still a bizarre story.

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:19.040
<v Speaker 1>This did happen?

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:21.839
<v Speaker 2>When was the date on this This happened I believe

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:25.119
<v Speaker 2>on Sunday, Sunday evening, and he.

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 3>Was captured a few hours later.

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:29.559
<v Speaker 1>All right, so let's tell you what we're talking about.

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Twenty seven year old Dayton James Webber. Now, most folks

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:36.320
<v Speaker 1>robes wouldn't know that name, but he has become familiar

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 1>to a certain degree, not just because robes he competes

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:43.679
<v Speaker 1>as a professional corn hole player. They're not necessarily big superstars.

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 1>But he got attention because he was doing it and

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 1>served as an inspiration quite frankly, in history.

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes, he was featured as, yes, someone who overcame his

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.920
<v Speaker 2>physical limitations and was able to do things that most

0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 2>people can't do with full arms and legs.

0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:04.280
<v Speaker 3>He was a football player, a wrestler.

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 2>He yeah, then decided to specifically get into cornhole and

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:09.880
<v Speaker 2>he's really good at it.

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:10.799
<v Speaker 3>He's a champion.

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 2>And yes, people are looking to him and have been

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 2>looking to him for years saying if he can do

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 2>what I can do it, look at what Dayton James

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Webber is able to do. He absolutely has been an

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 2>inspiration to many.

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 1>And we can get more into what exactly happened with

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 1>him medically if you will, but this has been something

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 1>a condition when he was a child, and his right

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>and left arm amputated, right and left leg amputate. It

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't have those limbs beyond the elbow, I guess

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 1>you could say. And also it's above the knee is

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.919
<v Speaker 1>where his legs are arputated amputated. So this is who

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.440
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about with ropes. He found a way to

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.320
<v Speaker 1>manage doing corn hole, at least by being able to

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:54.280
<v Speaker 1>clasp that bag in some way and tossing it, and

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.360
<v Speaker 1>was effective in doing it. It's impressive when you watch it.

0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:58.960
<v Speaker 3>It is, it really is.

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.280
<v Speaker 2>We've been watching some years of him doing his thing

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 2>and it is very impressive. So it makes obviously what

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.960
<v Speaker 2>now he is accused of all the more horrific. He

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:13.960
<v Speaker 2>is facing first and second degree murder charges, two counts

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.360
<v Speaker 2>of assault in the first degree, and the use of

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.960
<v Speaker 2>a firearm in the commission of a felony. But when

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.000
<v Speaker 2>you hear the details about how this all went down,

0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 2>according to two passengers who were in the back seat,

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:28.239
<v Speaker 2>it's a head scratcher.

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:32.360
<v Speaker 1>So as simple as that, folks. Yes, there were, according

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.760
<v Speaker 1>to police, at least two witnesses to this who were

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>sitting in the backseat of a car. While Weber was

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 1>driving this vehicle and another passenger was in the passenger seat. Now,

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 1>according to authorities, were olden. According to these passengers, whatever

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:53.119
<v Speaker 1>argument took place, Weber allegedly shoots the passenger and then

0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of some confusing and chaotic scenes play out for

0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the next couple hours.

0:03:58.120 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 3>That's right, so he's driving.

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 2>To the people in the back seat, he pulls out

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 2>the firearm and shoots him twice in the head while driving,

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 2>and then pulls over.

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 3>According to the two folks in the back seat.

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:10.920
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, we don't know exactly what the

0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 2>relationships are between or among these four folks, but police

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 2>say they were friendly with one another.

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:17.839
<v Speaker 3>They all knew each other.

0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.279
<v Speaker 2>So reportedly, according to the two witnesses in the back seat,

0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:26.560
<v Speaker 2>Weber then asks them to help him pull Wells's body

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.880
<v Speaker 2>out of the car. And we mentioned to the man

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:33.000
<v Speaker 2>who was killed, twenty seven year old Bradrick Michael Wells,

0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Bradrick Wells. So he said, hey, guys, help me pull

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.839
<v Speaker 2>his body out of the vehicle. The two people in

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 2>the back seat were like, ah, no, we're not doing that. Finally,

0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.279
<v Speaker 2>someone doing something smart. We see too many movies where

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.200
<v Speaker 2>folks just kind of do things that they know they

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't do.

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 3>These two folks were smart.

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:53.039
<v Speaker 2>They got out of the vehicle and they ran, they fled,

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.159
<v Speaker 2>and they eventually were able to flag down a police officer.

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:01.120
<v Speaker 1>They get an officer and start telling their story. Sure,

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 1>and then they were able to fairly quickly track down Weber.

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.360
<v Speaker 1>But they also were able to find he had, apparently,

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.599
<v Speaker 1>according to authorities, dumped this man's body out in the

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:16.040
<v Speaker 1>middle of the wide open space for all the public

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:16.960
<v Speaker 1>to see. Essentially.

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so apparently two hours after this all took place,

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.680
<v Speaker 2>please got a call of a body found in a yard,

0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 2>and yes, it was in fact Wells.

0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.800
<v Speaker 3>And then yes, they found Weber by locating his vehicle.

0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 2>It's so incredible the way we now have our surveillance

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.119
<v Speaker 2>system set up in this country. So yes, they were

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.839
<v Speaker 2>able to locate his car one hundred and fifty miles

0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.279
<v Speaker 2>away from where the body was found in Virginia. He

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.920
<v Speaker 2>actually ended up in a hospital he was being treated

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.680
<v Speaker 2>for an unknown medical issue. But as soon as he

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:52.080
<v Speaker 2>was released from the hospital, police arrested him and he

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:56.920
<v Speaker 2>is behind bars in Virginia right now waiting extradition to Maryland.

0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.400
<v Speaker 1>And again, I guess it is wrote so much of

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.719
<v Speaker 1>this story and people will focus on again, if this

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a cornhole player, and this wasn't a quadruple amputee.

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.599
<v Speaker 1>Not sure how many of the headlines a story like

0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:11.560
<v Speaker 1>this would make, but it is at least it makes

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:15.800
<v Speaker 1>you stop and wonder. But it also Rob said it's

0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 1>not a positive necessarily, but oftentimes we talk about folks

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:25.800
<v Speaker 1>being having not disabled, but differently able. Correct, And to

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:29.000
<v Speaker 1>hear that someone a quadruple amputee is living a full

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.159
<v Speaker 1>life to the point they're driving around in a car,

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:34.159
<v Speaker 1>competing in cornhole, doing all these things, and in fact

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:38.120
<v Speaker 1>even murdering somebody, it's an odd thing to look at

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:41.599
<v Speaker 1>like wow. Again, it seems odd to say that you

0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:43.760
<v Speaker 1>look at it and say, wow, they're capable of anything

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:47.440
<v Speaker 1>anybody else is, but robes. It is a little fascinating,

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 1>head scratching and hard for us to get our heads around.

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>How he was able to drive the car, first of all,

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 1>is incredible because we have seen, have we not, in

0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:00.680
<v Speaker 1>various shows and things on TVs stories they're able to

0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 1>sometimes outfit a car for someone with a disability. So

0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:06.480
<v Speaker 1>we don't know that for sure. I didn't see anywhere

0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:07.440
<v Speaker 1>police describe that.

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 2>No, because and to your point, there are several articles

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:14.120
<v Speaker 2>out there that exactly specify what you're saying. First of all,

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 2>it's incredible that he's able to drive a car. Second,

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.800
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of remarkable that he's able to shoot a gun. Now,

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:24.560
<v Speaker 2>imagine being able to do both of those things while

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 2>you have no arms and no legs. It really is

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.640
<v Speaker 2>one of those, as you pointed out, head scratchers. There's

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 2>YouTube videos that he has touted and he's put on

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:36.480
<v Speaker 2>his social media. One of them is entitled no hands,

0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 2>No feet shooting nine millimeter handgun.

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:43.360
<v Speaker 3>You and I both watched it. He is proficient, Yeah, and.

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:44.760
<v Speaker 1>I still don't know how. I watched the video, and

0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm still not sure how he does it right, because

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:50.800
<v Speaker 1>again he has I'm not sure digits. I guess at

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 1>the end of his arm. There's a way he's able

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 1>to pull that trigger on a vehicle, on the weapon

0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.320
<v Speaker 1>and he's still kind of gripping it crazy. It sound

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 1>almost the same way he was doing the bags and

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.560
<v Speaker 1>corn hole, using both to kind of squeeze and hold

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:08.000
<v Speaker 1>the weapon upright. How he did that and was driving

0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.920
<v Speaker 1>the car eyes just and pulled a trigger like I don't.

0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:12.920
<v Speaker 1>I really don't know how he did it, so no,

0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.400
<v Speaker 1>and did this safely. Apparently was able to pull over.

0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:19.520
<v Speaker 2>Yes, hey, hey, helped me get the body out, because obviously

0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:21.720
<v Speaker 2>that would be I mean, look, this sounds crazy, but

0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 2>that would be a hard thing to do as well.

0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:25.880
<v Speaker 2>With no hands, no legs, how do you get rid

0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.120
<v Speaker 2>of a body. It's hard enough for people who have

0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.200
<v Speaker 2>no limitations. So yeah, he was asking for help and

0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.199
<v Speaker 2>his friends said no way. And by the way, he

0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:37.040
<v Speaker 2>lost his limbs. We were talking early on ten months old.

0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:40.280
<v Speaker 2>I believe he had a bacterial infection and was given

0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:41.760
<v Speaker 2>about a three percent chance to live.

0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 3>So he really is a walking miracle. He's talked about it.

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.840
<v Speaker 2>He's inspired folks because of it, the fact that he

0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:51.120
<v Speaker 2>was just able to survive that infection and then to

0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:56.920
<v Speaker 2>thrive given his limitations. But yes, he is an official.

0:08:56.960 --> 0:09:01.600
<v Speaker 2>He is a professional corn hole athlete, and I didn't

0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 2>know that was even a thing, but it is. And

0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:05.720
<v Speaker 2>in fact, the whole Cornhole Association is trying to get

0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:09.480
<v Speaker 2>this to become an event at the Olympics. That's how

0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.360
<v Speaker 2>big of a deal it is in some circles. And

0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:16.520
<v Speaker 2>certainly he was at the top of his game in Maryland.

0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:20.199
<v Speaker 1>It looks if every once in a while, Look it's

0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.240
<v Speaker 1>not appointment viewing, but every once in a while you're

0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.200
<v Speaker 1>going through ESPN on a random day at a random time,

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.320
<v Speaker 1>and nothing else is on, and you see a corn

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.920
<v Speaker 1>hole championship place and we stop and check it out

0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:35.640
<v Speaker 1>because it's impressive. So it's a thing. It hasn't gotten

0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 1>to where it needs to be, but still it's out there.

0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.520
<v Speaker 1>But Robes no matter what I mean, I can't you

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 1>give me a year to go out there and practice

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.679
<v Speaker 1>corn hole with two arms and hands. I'm not going

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.679
<v Speaker 1>to be at a championship level. That what he's doing

0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:52.360
<v Speaker 1>is wildly it's weird to say, and so don't it.

0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Don't take this the wrong way. But it's impressive, Yeah,

0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.240
<v Speaker 1>what he did, it's not right. It seems weird to say,

0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:00.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm impressive that he pulled off a murder. I'm impressive.

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:05.080
<v Speaker 1>It's impressive that he is able, Yeah, to do all this.

0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:10.120
<v Speaker 1>That is impressive, awful that he used his ability to

0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:14.120
<v Speaker 1>possibly take a life. But I am it is robe.

0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 1>It's the fascination and us not really understanding how he

0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:18.640
<v Speaker 1>pulled this off.

0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Fascination is a good word to describe because everyone's

0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.480
<v Speaker 2>trying to imagine how it all happened, how it all worked.

0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 2>But obviously he has lived with this his entire life,

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:34.400
<v Speaker 2>so he knows how to successfully do whatever it is

0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:35.320
<v Speaker 2>he puts his mind to.

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.240
<v Speaker 3>Is how many people have put it.

0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:40.880
<v Speaker 2>So Yeah, by the way, he was named the best

0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.679
<v Speaker 2>corn hole player in Maryland in twenty twenty signed a

0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:47.760
<v Speaker 2>professional pro cornhole contract in twenty twenty one, and he

0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:49.400
<v Speaker 2>had a six year contract, so he was in the

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:53.800
<v Speaker 2>middle of it. It's also fascinating and sad to think

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:57.280
<v Speaker 2>that he has just thrown all that hard work, all

0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:02.360
<v Speaker 2>that determination, all that success, all that inspiration out the door,

0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 2>potentially with one angry moment.

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:06.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:06.520
<v Speaker 2>Heah.

0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.080
<v Speaker 1>We have to always watch a bunch of these cases

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 1>and stories. I have to say he is an innocent

0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 1>man right now, innocent until proven otherwise. We don't know

0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.240
<v Speaker 1>exactly what happened in that car, but police say there

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.560
<v Speaker 1>are two people who do know what happened in that car,

0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 1>saw it and have reported it now and say there

0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 1>is no doubt about what took place. But stay here,

0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:27.160
<v Speaker 1>folks will get more into and robed. You were just

0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.400
<v Speaker 1>saying Dayton James Webber. It's not somebody in the name

0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.600
<v Speaker 1>people know, but he had had a hell of a run,

0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:36.040
<v Speaker 1>a hell of a successful run, and a hell robes

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:40.000
<v Speaker 1>of a life to have such to be such a

0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:43.520
<v Speaker 1>young man. He's twenty seven years old, and as crazy

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:47.800
<v Speaker 1>as it sounds, he had his whole life ahead of him.

0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Stay here, we'll tell you more about the man who

0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.760
<v Speaker 1>serves or has served as such an inspiration for so.

0:11:53.760 --> 0:12:05.839
<v Speaker 2>Many Welcome back, everyone to this episode of Amy and TJ,

0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:11.640
<v Speaker 2>where we are talking about a quadruple amputee professional cornhole

0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:15.600
<v Speaker 2>player now charged with murder. Two witnesses in the back

0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:19.520
<v Speaker 2>seat of his car say they saw him drive, pull

0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:23.680
<v Speaker 2>out a handgun and shoot the front seat passenger twice

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.880
<v Speaker 2>in the head, killing him. There is a lot to

0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:30.000
<v Speaker 2>unpack with this story. There's the fascination of how he

0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 2>did it. There's the question of why he did it.

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:34.959
<v Speaker 2>We know that there was some sort of argument according

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:39.599
<v Speaker 2>to the back seat passengers, and look, this is somebody.

0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.840
<v Speaker 2>The why is a big, big issue here because of

0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.360
<v Speaker 2>what he's accused of compared to who he's been known

0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 2>for and known as for so many years.

0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:52.720
<v Speaker 3>He's been the spotlight since he was young. At eleven years.

0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:55.839
<v Speaker 2>Old, he was profiled by the local NBC affiliate about

0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 2>his athletic prowess and what he was able to do

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.079
<v Speaker 2>with his body given.

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:03.920
<v Speaker 3>The fact that he had no arms and no legs.

0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:05.520
<v Speaker 3>He was you know, the.

0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:08.000
<v Speaker 2>End of the newscast where you have the inspirational story.

0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 2>He was that story for so many news outlets for

0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.520
<v Speaker 2>so many years. He was the kid that made us

0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:16.120
<v Speaker 2>all think we could do anything.

0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh then he guess he could still be. Don't know again,

0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.760
<v Speaker 1>don't have all the answers. He was just arrested yesterday,

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:28.920
<v Speaker 1>so always want to leave room for that. But Robes, Yeah,

0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:32.959
<v Speaker 1>I mean he had many years or has many years

0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:36.400
<v Speaker 1>left and many years potentially left of being an inspiration,

0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.000
<v Speaker 1>of being more of a name that people were possibly

0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:44.040
<v Speaker 1>going to know. What he did up until this other

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.600
<v Speaker 1>guy died has been inspirational.

0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And with the sport coming up the way it

0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:51.480
<v Speaker 2>is now and there's a big push to make it

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:56.160
<v Speaker 2>be a bigger, more widely recognized and acknowledged sport, yeah,

0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:59.959
<v Speaker 2>he was riding that wave. I don't know the ESPN

0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.960
<v Speaker 2>features because I'm not a big ESPN watcher, but do

0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:07.439
<v Speaker 2>you know ESPN's sc Features and ESPN Sports Center. They

0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:10.680
<v Speaker 2>both profiled Weber and in the most recent years giving

0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:15.240
<v Speaker 2>him accolades for overcoming But I thought this was really interesting.

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.800
<v Speaker 2>ESPN Sports Center gave gave him a spot on one

0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:20.280
<v Speaker 2>of its Top ten plays segments.

0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.600
<v Speaker 3>Are you familiar with that? I know you're laughing at me,

0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:24.880
<v Speaker 3>but I don't know what any of.

0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:26.760
<v Speaker 1>This is familiar. Here's the thing.

0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:31.080
<v Speaker 3>Everybody is except for a Wah, except for am Wah.

0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.600
<v Speaker 2>So they show him this is just like three years ago,

0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 2>making four consecutive shots, and one of them, I guess

0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 2>was a really almost impossible shot to make until he

0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:42.120
<v Speaker 2>did it. And the sportscaster or whoever was announcing who

0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:45.880
<v Speaker 2>whatever anchor was, said this Dayton Weber, remember the name

0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:51.440
<v Speaker 2>that is so ominous now given what's been happening.

0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:53.400
<v Speaker 3>But he was the guy. He was the he was

0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:54.520
<v Speaker 3>the inspirational name.

0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:57.840
<v Speaker 2>He was. When you heard his name, you thought, man,

0:14:57.840 --> 0:14:59.240
<v Speaker 2>if he can do what, I can do it. And

0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.960
<v Speaker 2>this is just such an unbelievable fall from grace. And

0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 2>there are a lot of questions surrounding this case, but

0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:10.200
<v Speaker 2>again I think the biggest one is why, why it's

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:12.960
<v Speaker 2>just so sad, and to your point, we still have

0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:14.680
<v Speaker 2>to wait the details. We still have to let him

0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 2>have his day in court, and certainly we have not

0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:20.080
<v Speaker 2>heard directly yet from Dayton wherever, but we will stay

0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.880
<v Speaker 2>on top of this story. We appreciate you as always

0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:26.160
<v Speaker 2>for listening to us. I'm Nami Robach alongside TJ. Holmes.

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:27.280
<v Speaker 3>We will talk to you soon
