Jurors acquitted HealthSouth Corp. founder and ex-Chief Executive Richard Scrushy on Tuesday of all charges related to a $2.7 billion earnings overstatement at the chain of rehabilitation and medical-service centers.
The sweeping acquittal in the 36-count indictment ended a five-month trial with a huge victory for an embattled corporate chief after a series of convictions in other high-profile business scandals.
