He admitted to this in the Larry King Live interview:
SCHIAVO: Let's talk about the rehab.
When this happened to Terri, I sued Prudential Insurance for her rehab benefits. She (AUDIO GAP) Bayfront Medical Center for three months getting extensive rehab...
KING: In Clearwater, right?
SCHIAVO: In St. Petersburg.
KING: (UNINTELLIGIBLE)
SCHIAVO: She spent three months there. Then, while she was there, we heard of this doctor in California here that was doing experimental surgery, implanting stimulators in people's brains in hopes to stimulate any activity.
Now, we were told with this, too (Ph) when this doctor looked at the CAT scans, that it was probably not going to work Because there's just no brain left. But I did it anyway, because I loved Terri. And I wanted to bring my wife back. I wanted to have my wife back in me.
So I flew her out to California by myself, with a nurse. And I spent a month there. They inserted the stimulator.
KING: Didn't work?
SCHIAVO: No, it eventually didn't work, no. The protocol for the stimulator was three months. I kept it on her for a year.

He not only didn't have court approval for doing this procedure, he did it for longer than was recommended, and to top it all off, he never gave her the further rehabilitation in Gainesville that she should have gotten following the procedure! Every single aspect of Terri's case continues to stun me no matter how many times I've seen the info before. I am galled that the court system has let Terri down so many times! The whole purpose of the review by appellate courts is to make sure the laws have properly been followed. Terri would have a better chance at justice if she were actually convicted for murder.

Thank you. So it looks like the husband HAS tried to help Terri. Unfortunately, that was in the past. Now he's determined to see her die.
