Who is Otis Sweet

Otis is Ossian Sweet's brother. He spends the first and second night in the new house with the group and is arrested with them. Otis is a dentist who completes his education and moves to Detroit, because his brother Ossian is there. He is part of the group whose trial ended with a hung jury. He doesn't stand trial again because the Wayne County prosecutor drops all charges against him and the others when Henry is acquitted.
