COLUMBIANA, Ala. - Fired HealthSouth Corp. chief Richard Scrushy was jailed in Alabama on Thursday after being transferred from a federal prison in Texas to give sworn testimony about fraud at the rehabilitation company he founded.
...
Scrushy is scheduled to give several days of sworn testimony starting Monday in Birmingham in investor lawsuits concerning the HealthSouth fraud.
While Scrushy wanted lawyers to come to him in Texas, a judge ordered him brought back to his home state of Alabama for questioning.
Scrushy was acquitted in the HealthSouth fraud in 2005, but
he was convicted the next year with former Gov. Don Siegelman in a state bribery scheme. Scrushy was sentenced to nearly seven years in prison.
