O.J. Simpson plans to sign autographs and pose for pictures at a Halloween-themed comic book convention in a rare public appearance coinciding with the 10th anniversary of his acquittal on murder charges, a promoter of the event said on Friday.
Simpson agreed to show up at the NecroComicon show in Los Angeles for three days, starting on Friday night, as a favor to an unspecified friend who was paid in advance to arrange for the weekend appearance, according to the promoter, Tom Riccio.
Riccio said Simpson, who now lives in Florida, was "not getting a penny" for his visit, but was using the event as a possible trial run for future public appearances that he would make "in exchange for donations to his kids' college fund."
"A lot of promoters are watching this to see how it goes, and we're going to take it from there," Riccio said.
Riccio said he would charge $95 for photos and T-shirts signed by Simpson, and $125 for autographed football jerseys and helmets. Riccio said he would keep whatever is left of the proceeds after paying for various expenses, including Simpson's travel costs.

Get a murderer's autograph!
Is OJ still searching for Nicole's real killers? Lying scumbag.
I'd go and ask him to autograph my set of steak knives.
Nicole's lawyers need to be there to collect any income O.J. makes off the event.
I wonder if he'd autograph my set of Ginsu knives..."right on the handle, O.J.!"
LOL! Great minds...
Is he going as a murderer?
Not a good idea. :)
O.J. Simpson should become a lawyer. That way, he can save lost of money on his next murders.
(WARNING: Rated PG-13 language.)
Since it's Halloween themed, OJ will be dressed as Jack the Ripper.
This is not an article from the Onion.
This murderer should not make one penny ever again. Actually, he owes the money to his victims families to begin with. Piece of crap murdering scum.
ORENTHAL Is in town?
Stay aways ladies and waiters
Now, Now, How do you know he didn't get a tip that the real killers are going to be there?
Doing things as a public figure in exchange for payments to a place OJ directs (kid's collegel fund), is IMO very collectable from others.
Good lord! LOL!
