UNSUBSTANTIATED RUMOR: Uno Co-Authors with Simpson, 2008


Until his 2008 death, Grandpa Uno was the owner of the esteemed painting by Arnold Friberg, "OJ Breaks for Daylight" which was commissioned by Chevrolet for the University of Southern California in 1968.


While the ownership of the painting is not in question, nor being denied by this chronicling of Grandpa Uno's famed life and lifestyle, we would like to clarify that we are not sure of the reasoning behind his purchase of the painting in May of 1997, only months after the death of Nicole Simpson, OJ's wife.

The trial was monumental, and those who were alive for it remember it fondly. Johnny Cochran's "If the glove don't fit..."

After OJ was acquitted, he lost a civil trial brought forth by Nicole's family, and was left nearly broke. His troubled life, which was made more difficult by a failing acting career led him to attempt re-exposure through the publishing of a book entitled "If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer".

Many have speculated that Grandpa Uno was not only a co-author, but in fact a ghost writer, to this instant best-seller (on some obscurely developed bookselling lists).

THIS RUMOR IS NOT SUBSTANTIATED BY ANY REAL EVIDENCE. PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT WHATEVER YOU HEAR IS PURE RUMOR.

But, as the royalties of the book go to Uno's family, we urge you to buy a copy HERE.
