Businessman Offers $1 Million to Keep Terri Schiavo Alive
March 10, 2005
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.
It was at this point that I decided to take action to try and bring a
positive resolution to a very distressing situation. I therefore have made
an offer to Terri's husband in the amount of $1,000,000 to relinquish his
custodial rights to Terri's parents in an effort to keep the hope for Terri
alive.
I believe very strongly that there are medical advances happening around the
globe that very shortly could have a positive impact on Terri's condition. I
have seen miraculous recoveries occur through the use of stem cells in
patients suffering a variety of conditions.
I decided to contact Gloria Allred to assist me in keeping this hope for
Terri alive due to her long history of protecting and being an advocate for
those in need of help. I believe that by making this public offer it will
encourage people around Mr. Michael Schiavo to help him with a decision that
will be most beneficial to Terri. This is a decision that must be made
immediately to keep Terri alive.
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.
I am not affiliated or associated with any cause or organization. I am a
private individual who is looking to bring hope to Terri's family.
It appears that the court battles may be coming to an end. 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.
