BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - A federal appeals court says a former
HealthSouth executive should go to prison for his role in a huge
accounting fraud at the Birmingham-based rehabilitation chain.
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday that
probation isn't enough punishment for Ken Livesay, who pleaded
guilty to inflating earnings at HealthSouth.
Federal judges have sentenced Livesay to probation three times
for his role in the HealthSouth fraud. Prosecutors appealed each
time, claiming the sentences were too lenient.
The 11th Circuit agreed with the government's arguments a third
time and went a step further, saying no amount of probation is
enough for Livesay. The case now goes back to a district court
judge.
