Another important Otto was Otto Frank (1889-1980), the father of Anne Frank. Otto is one of those quintessential German masculine names (others that come to mind: Karl, Ludwig, Franz, Claus, Johann, Leopold, Sigmund and Wolfgang). Today the name Otto is most commonly used in Finland but itâs also a Top 100 choice in Sweden. It appears to have fallen out of fashion in Germany, though.
Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon, conducted by the United States Army on July 16, 1945, as part of the Manhattan Project.
DNA evidence is a relatively new instrument of exoneration. The first convicted defendant from a United States prison to be released on account of DNA testing was David Vasquez, in 1989. Recently, DNA evidence has been used to exonerate a number of persons either on death row or serving lengthy prison sentences. As of October 2003, the number of states authorizing convicts to request DNA testing on their behalf, since 1999, has increased from two to thirty.
