OJ Simpson is planning to mark the 10th anniversary of the murder of his wife Nicole in an unusual way -- by hawking his story around the world's media.
Nicole Simpson and waiter Ron Goldman were savagely stabbed in the garden of the Simpson home in 1994. OJ was cleared of both murders following a sensational televised trial but was held liable for the deaths in a civil suit in 1997.
And now the former football player is reportedly hoping to make money out of the tragedy.
Simpson's attorney, Yale Galanter, has named the price telling the New York Daily News, "It will be expensive. TV rights are going for $100,000. For print rights, between $20,000 and $25,000."
And, of the possibility of a gruesome photo shoot at the crime scene and Nicole's grave, Galanter says, "It would have to be a multi-million type deal.
"A grave site photo would be worth $500,000. Our preference is a standard interview, but its just money."
