Dayton James Webber, a quadruple amputee and professional cornhole champion, has been charged with the murder of his friend, Bradrick Michael Wells, in La Plata, Maryland. The incident occurred during an argument in Webber’s vehicle, where Wells was shot and later found dead in a yard. Webber, who was apprehended in Virginia, faces charges including first- and second-degree murder. His attorney claims Webber acted in self-defense, fearing for his life. Witnesses in the car reported the shooting and refused to help Webber dispose of the body. Webber remains in custody without bond, with a preliminary hearing set for May 6.
QUESTION: How might the perception of self-defense change when the accused has a physical disability?
