\”This is morbid and an insult to victims worldwide,\” she said.

\”The signatures were converted into fonts, which can be purchased over the Net and downloaded into personal computers.

The signatures sell for $9.95 US each, or three for $19.95. For every purchase of three, a signature of O.J. Simpson is thrown in for free.

\”Someone out there is profiteering from crime,\” Mahaffy said. \”This site is glamourizing people and making them more notorious.\”

Mahaffy said the site is degrading to victims of killers and it\’s only a matter of time before a similar site is created here for Canadian killers. Mahaffy\’s daughter Leslie was one of the victims of notorious killers Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka.\”
