While it’s still not a full accounting of just how the hell quadruple amputee pro cornhole player Dayton Webber was able to pull out a gun and shoot Bradrick Wells in the head twice during an argument while Webber was driving a Tesla if wasn’t already court of public opinion defense lawyer spin bullshit, a Wednesday statement from Webber’s Dream Team captain Andrew Jezic to reporters does fill in some of the gaps in the public understanding of the fatal events that transpired.

According to the AP, Jezic briefed reporters outside Charles County District Court following a bail hearing and professed that his client had acted in self-defense when he somehow managed to retrieve the weapon, cock it, and shoot Wells, all while “terrified” that Wells was about to leverage the advantage of having hands to kill Webber. “The truth here is that he would have been a murder victim if he had not acted immediately in defense of his life,” said Jezic following the hearing.

The argument between the two centered on a different firearm that a friend of Wells had stolen from Webber with the cornhole pro enraged at Wells for still associating with the third person. That’s actually not a terrible foundation for a self-defense claim given that a jury might buy a case that Webber had some reasonable suspicion that Wells had the weapon on him. It gets harder though when you get to the part where the Assistant State’s Attorney Karen Piper Mitchell told the court that Webber had another tiff with Wells in 2024 in which the quadruple amputee screamed at Wells to leave his home and the fired a warning round at him from a window after he exited.

Bail was denied. It’s not clear if Jezic quipped “Flight risk?!? Your honor, you can clearly see my client doesn’t have wings!” but that would’ve been unprofessional on top of groan-inducing.
