Attorneys for Brett Favre filed a denial of allegations he used misappropriated state funds in Mississippi meant for needy families for the construction of a volleyball facility at the University of Southern Mississippi where his daughter played.
Eric Hirschmann, an attorney for the Hall of Fame quarterback, filed the denial of allegations in response to a civil complaint brought by the Mississippi Department of Human Services and asked that the court “deny the relief requested by MDHS” and dismiss the complaint in its entirety, as well as award Favre attorneys’ fees and costs. Favre also requests a jury trial and contends that the First Judicial District of Hinds County, Mississippi, would be the proper venue for a trial.
Favre did admit, in regard to the USM volleyball facility, that he donated autographed materials to be auctioned off, solicited third parties to help with the construction, and held meetings with former MDHS chief John Davis, ex-USM Athletic Director Jon Gilbert, and Mississippi Community Education Center founder Nancy New about the construction. He also claims that “John Davis suggested that MDHS could provide $4 million in funding” to build the facility.
