Mississippi’s Department of Human Services wants a judge to keep Brett Favre as part of their lawsuit to recover misspent welfare dollars.
DHS lawyers in Jackson, Mississippi last week asked the judge not to allow Favre to walk away from the case. Favre has never been charged with a crime, but there is evidence that links him to a scheme to mis-spend millions of dollars that were supposed to go to needy families. Favre’s lawyers say the state is using his status as a celebrity to distract from the real culprits in the case.
