Attorneys for former NFL quarterback Brett Favre filed a motion requesting the dismissal of a lawsuit against him regarding misspent welfare funds in Mississippi's largest corruption case ever, according to ESPN.
Favre's attorneys argued in the court filing that the case should be dismissed "because the state Department of Human Services lacks evidence and is attempting to deflect from its own culpability." Attorneys for the Mississippi Department of Human Services said in statements that the judge should ignore Favre's request to be removed from the lawsuit, but his attorneys wrote that there is "no legal, factual, or moral basis" for such claims.
