The Birmingham News reports on the recently freed Bill Owens.
Bill Owens, the admitted architect of the massive accounting fraud at HealthSouth Corp., became a free man Friday, leaving imprisonment 90 pounds lighter but weighted with the burden of the destruction he caused others and the company he loved.
Owens said he is in better health at 51 than he was at 30, thanks in part to a prison fitness program. But he is also in a better place mentally and spiritually than when he helped hatch a plan to fake earnings at HealthSouth to meet Wall Street's expectations.
