Summary Box: Defense Rests Without Fired HealthSouth CEO Scrushy Taking Stand in Fraud Trial


THE DEFENSE: Rested Wednesday after calling 21 witnesses -- but not fired HealthSouth Corp. CEO Richard Scrushy -- to support defense claims that Scrushy did not direct a $2.7 billion fraud.
THE PROSECUTION: Decided not to call witnesses to counter defense case. Prosecutors claim Scrushy was at the heart of the scheme.

WHAT'S NEXT: Closing arguments begin Monday. Deliberations are to begin Tuesday, lawyers said.
