Many of you either know about, or were there at Jason's 30th B-day. Well, to get to and from the party trolley's pick-up/drop off we used a limo. The driver owns the car and his own small limo business. He's an older African American man named Melvin.
On the ride back from the Trolley Jeff (weezermoo) sat in the front seat with Melvin. When Jeff mentioned that he lived in Vegas Melvin suddenly seemed a bit distressed and said he didn't want to talk about Vegas because of the recent trouble his brother O.J. was in.
When Jeff told us about this later I thought maybe he was using the term "brother" in a broader sense, but Jeff was convinced by the way Melvin responded and the details of what he said that he really might be O.J. Simpson's brother.
Well, I got curious and looked up info about O.J. I found this quote on his Wikipedia page, {quote}
"Simpson has one brother, Melvin Leon "Truman" Simpson, and two sisters, Shirley Simpson-Baker and Carmelita Simpson-Durio."
This info was confirmed by many sources.
OK, so I've confirmed O.J. as a brother named Melvin and I'm pretty sure it's the same guy, but that didn't quite satisfy me. So I did a Google search on Melvin Leon Simpson and found this article and a few others all talking about the same incident.
Based on his location and occupation listed in the article I'm positive we can safely say that Melvin the limo driver really is O.J.'s brother. Crazy.
Now I didn't post this to slam the guy or anything. He was really awesome, and obviously things got cleared up or he wouldn't have a license to drive still. Just wanted to share my 10 minutes of detective work with everyone. :)
