TL;DR Summary

A Scottish court has ruled that Nicholas Rossi, a rape suspect accused of faking his own death, can be extradited from the UK to the US to face charges. Rossi, who is wanted for alleged rape and domestic violence, claims to be an Irish orphan named Arthur Knight, but the court has previously ruled that he is indeed Rossi. Despite attempts to delay proceedings and dismiss his counsel, the court rejected these applications. Medical witnesses testified that Rossi showed no signs of acute mental illness. His lawyer argued that extradition would violate Rossi's human rights, but the prosecution stated that there was no evidence to support this claim.
