On Thursday, a Mississippi Supreme Court denied Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre’s motion to dismiss the charges levied against him in a lawsuit in connection with the Mississippi welfare scandal.
Favre has been accused of using state welfare funds to finance his own personal business endeavors, including the construction of a new volleyball stadium at his alma mater, Southern Miss, and a pharmaceutical startup company. Favre’s first motion to have the charges dismissed was denied in April, and he filed an appeal in May, per Anna Wolfe of Mississippi Today.
