Scrushy sues HealthSouth for $70M

Ex-HealthSouth CEO Robert Scrushy has filed a lawsuit against the company, claiming he was wrongly terminated. In a suit filed in federal district court in Birmingham, AL, lawyers representing Scrushy cited his acquittal of fraud charges as evidence that he should not have lost his job. Scrushy became a celebrity after a federal trial in which he claimed his company's spectacular flameout was due to a conspiracy led by CFO Bill Owens. Last week, Owens was sentenced to five years in prison by a federal judge.
