Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre has sustained a significant blow in his fight to prove his innocence in the Mississippi welfare case.
Favre has been under scrutiny for some time as he has been linked to around $8 million of misappropriated welfare funds. The Pro Football Hall of Famer has maintained that he has done nothing wrong but will have to try to prove that without the influence of his lead attorney.
The lawyer, Daniel Koevary, has been removed from the case. Hinds County Circuit Court Judge E. Faye Peterson stated that Brett Favre’s legal counsel has exhibited a “pattern and practice of delicate deception with ongoing misapplication of this State’s case law.”

“The most recent actions and filings by counsel appear to have been designed to be dilatory and not necessary for the representation of his client,” the judge wrote, per Front Office Sports.
“The motions presented herein were deliberately and tacitly designed to undermine the authority of the Court and demonstrate either a misunderstanding of the proper procedures and processes of the rules and the laws of the State of Mississippi or an effort to manufacture issues with the Judiciary.”
Brett Favre Is Still Pursuing Other Angles
At the time of this writing, Brett Favre had not responded to Koevary’s loss of admission to practice law in his case.
Meanwhile, the 54-year-old is attempting to revive his defamation lawsuit against fellow HOFer Shannon Sharpe.
