Re: Indeed, and if the truth is known, I'm sure there's money involved in her death -- and it devolves on the husband.
Actually, Mrs Schiavo's husband (Michael Schiavo) was offered one million dollars to divorce her:

LOS ANGELES, March 10 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Statement from today's press conference with Robert Herring, Sr. and his attorney, Gloria Allred:
Statement from Gloria Allred, Attorney-at-Law, Representing Robert Herring, Sr.:
We are here today to announce that our client, Robert Herring, Sr., is making an offer to Terri Schiavo's husband, Michael Schiavo, which could save Terri's life.
Terri Schiavo is currently in a coma in Florida. Michael Schiavo has asked the court for permission to disconnect her feeding tube, which would result in her death. Terri's parents, Bob and Mary Schiavo, have opposed the request. After a long court battle the court has set March 18, 2005 for the removal of Terri's feeding tube.
It now appears that the court process is ending, and that the legislative process has failed to stop the removal of the feeding tube.
This situation has deeply moved and distressed our client Mr. Herring who has been observing the case in the media, as millions of others have for about a year.
Mr. Herring is a successful, socially responsible entrepreneur who spent more than 30 years in the electronics industry as the founder and owner of HERCO Technology. In 2000, Mr. Herring sold HERCO Technology to a New York Stock Exchange listed firm.
In 2003, Mr. Herring founded WEALTHTV, a lifestyle and entertainment television channel. He is a supporter of and a believer in stem cell research and the medical breakthrough that are occurring in this area. He is married with 5 children and 19 grandchildren and lives in the San Diego area.
He recognizes that unless something is done immediately, Terri Schiavo is not likely to survive very long after March 18th. Knowing that time is of the essence and realizing that he is fortunate enough to be able to help, he has decided to take action.
He contacted me and retained my law firm to convey the following offer to Terri's husband. If Mike Schiavo agrees to transfer the legal right to decide all of Terri's current and future medical desicions to Terri's parents, then Mr. Herring will pay Mr. Schiavo the amount of 1 million dollars (subject to court approval of Terri's parents as her conservators or guardians).
The million dollars was deposited into my law firm's client trust account yesterday and this morning we communicated this million dollar offer in writing to Mr. Schiavo's attorney.
This offer will remain open until Monday, March 14, 2005 at 5:00 p.m.
Mr. Herring thinks there might be hope for Terri Schiavo and wonders why there is a rush to death, especially in view of the advances being made in medical research. He feels that he couldn't live with himself if he didn't make this offer and he sincerely hopes that it will be accepted.
We commend Mr. Herring on his creative and decisive attempt to peacefully resolve this legal dispute over Terri.
We look forward to Mr. Schiavo's response.

Statement from Robert Herring, Sr.:
I became interested in the Terri Schiavo story some two years ago, and have followed the ups and downs in this tragic situation closely. After viewing video of Terri on television, I came to the belief that there was hope for her. 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.

The bold sentence gives away the disinformation spin that was deliberately put on the Schiavo affair: "After viewing video of Terri on television, I came to the belief that there was hope for her." As I pointed out in my post #22805, the video and the other footage of Mrs Schiavo that Mr R. Herring used to make up his mind are all THREE YEARS OLD or older!! They didn't show Mrs Schiavo in her CURRENT condition. |
