Wonder if anybody's told him that if he goes to court, 

 

1). As the plaintiff, he has to take the stand, and testify that the things they said about him are false
 

2). At which time, the defense gets to cross examine him. 
 

3). And he can't take the fifth. 
 

4). And anything he says can be used against him, criminally.

I could be wrong *and would welcome reprimand if so, but...

Point #1 is false.  No one "has to" take the stand.  It's just better if the plaintiff can explain in their own words what complaint they bring to the court.

Point #2 is true only if point #1 is asserted.

Point #3 applies only if point #1 is NOT asserted. 

Point #4 can't apply if #1 or #3 hasn't proven that any wrongdoing took place.

Brett Favre to testify in Mississippi welfare case Oct. 26

 

The Mississippi Department of Human Services has filed notice of its intent to depose former NFL quarterback Brett Favre as part of its lawsuit seeking to recover millions of dollars in misspent welfare funds.

In a court filing Monday, the agency said its lawyers were scheduled to take Favre's sworn testimony beginning Oct. 26 in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. According to Front Office Sports, this would be the first Favre deposition, but those involved in the case aren't commenting because of a judge's gag order.

A lawyer for Favre declined to comment and an MDHS spokesman also declined to answer questions. In a July court filing, a lawyer for Favre said his client "does not intend to invoke the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination" in connection with the case.

Favre, 53, has denied wrongdoing and has not been criminally charged in the case. His alleged involvement became known in May 2022, when he was named as one of 38 original defendants. MDHS's lawsuit seeks to recoup at least $77 million in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds, which a state audit said was diverted from needy families to rich and powerful people in the state. As of May 2023, there were 47 defendants in the case.

Goddamn, when Shannon Sharpe is winning arguments against you, you should just stop talking.

 

Sorry, I thought this was the Skip Bayless thread.  

Maybe big brother gave some tips on how to get under his old teammate's skin.

Favre repaid $500,000 to the state in May 2020 and $600,000 in October 2021, but the new court filing said he still owes $729,790 because interest caused growth in the original amount he owed. 

 

“It boggles the mind that Mr. Favre could imagine he is entitled to the equivalent of an interest-free loan of $1.1 million in taxpayer money, especially money intended for the benefit of the poor,” White said in a statement Monday.

Mississippi ex-governor expected stake in firm that got welfare money, says woman convicted in fraud

 

Former Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant said at a party weeks before leaving office that he had been offered a financial stake in a company that received welfare money to try to develop a concussion drug and was connected to retired NFL quarterback Brett Favre, according to a new court filing by a person convicted in a welfare misspending case.

 

Nancy New had a close working relationship with Favre and Bryant while the Republican was governor, and she made the allegation about Bryant in court papers Monday. New said that at a 2019 Christmas party, Bryant talked about Jake Vanlandingham, founder of the Florida-based biotech company Prevacus.

 

“Governor Bryant got excited and told me that Jake had offered him ‘half the company,’ which I understood to mean a substantial amount of stock, but the Governor said he was going to have to wait until he was out of office to accept,” New wrote.
