Businessman Offers $1 Million to Keep Terri Schiavo Alive
SAN DIEGO, March 11, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – California businessman Robert Herring, Sr., offered Terri Schiavo’s husband, Michael Schiavo, $1 million Thursday, in exchange for her life.
Herring founded WealthTV, a lifestyle and entertainment television channel, in 2003. The million dollars was placed in a trust account managed by Allred’s law firm Wednesday. Early Thursday, the firm communicated the offer to Michael Schiavo through his attorney. Herring and his attorney, Gloria Allred, appeared on Fox TV last night to make the offer public.
“As events have proceeded in the legal battle, it became clear to me that if something was not done for Terri, that all hope for her would be lost,” Herring said in a statement. “I have had no contact or association with either Mr. Michael Schiavo or Terri's parents or family. I am a neutral party as it relates to any dispute between them. I am not a medical expert, and do not have opinions on her specific condition. I am however aware that her condition, and potential for recovery is in dispute amongst learned medical professionals.”
“If you look at the photos, you see her trying to talk and follow a balloon back and forth,” Herring told signonsandiego.com news. “And I've read that she enjoys listening to music, and if you turn it off she becomes agitated. That's not the actions of a person in a persistent vegetative state.”
“It appears that the court battles may be coming to an end,” Herring added. “With a date of March 18th quickly approaching, and no other viable hope for Terri to be able to keep her feeding tube, I felt compelled to act.”
