| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of Till Death do us part, just Melissa. |
| 0:13.8 | And on this episode, I'm going to be telling you the case against Dayton James Weber. |
| 0:24.6 | It was supposed to be just another late-night drive down a quiet Maryland road, four people in a vehicle, a disagreement, voices rising, and then gunfire. |
| 0:33.9 | By the end of the night, one young father would be dead in a stranger's yard, and the man police they pulled the trigger would be someone the world had once called inspirational. |

| 1:57.3 | He wrestled, played football, rode motorcross, even hunted. |
| 2:03.0 | And then he found the sport that would make him known nationally. |
| 2:07.2 | Cornhole. |

| 2:16.5 | Dayton trained seriously and eventually competed in the American |
| 2:20.7 | Cornhole League, becoming the first quadruple amputee to play professionally. Video showed him |
