It's finally over.  CNN Money reports that a federal jury in Alabama acquitted former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy on all 36 criminal counts he faced.

So many questions answered.  So many issues resolved.  So many prophecies fulfilled.  To wit:

1.  How many former CFOs does it take to convince a jury that the CEO was responsible for a massive financial fraud?

Answer:  To quote Magic Eight Ball, "Reply Hazy, Try Again."  (More than 5, in any event).

2.  Can a "self-aggrandizing, superwealthy white guy, with mansions not just in the Birmingham area but also Palm Beach, expensive toys — including a Rolls-Royce and several boats" successfully play the race card?

Answer: Magic Eight Ball--"Signs Point to Yes."

3.  Was Scrushy's lawyer correct that the charges against Scrushy were a "couple pieces of potato" added to a stew that has no beef?

Answer: Magic Eight Ball--"It is Decidedly So."

4.  Scrushy Field?  Play ball!
