Law chiefs have received a “number of applications” to screen the hearing as the strange case has generated huge interest
An extradition hearing for US rape suspect Nicholas Rossi is set to be filmed in a legal first for Scotland. Rossi, 35, who fled from America to escape an array of alleged offences, is due to have his case heard on Monday.
A source close to the case said: “The BBC is involved along with documentary teams and even stations in the States. The concern is it becomes The Nicholas Rossi Show because he’ll love it. He’ll be the centre of attention, which is what he wants. Cameras will give him extra impetus to turn it into a circus.”
It’s understood a hearing will take place at the sheriff court on Thursday to determine whether Monday’s extradition case can still proceed after Rossi sacked his lawyer. He once reacted furiously after his former lawyer accidentally called him “Mr Rossi”, prompting him to exclaim “Knight! Knight! Knight!, before being told to be quiet. And in September he attempted to hold a minute’s silence for the late Queen at the start of a hearing.
But broadcasters have been queuing up to get cameras in to film the evidence on Rossi’s identity. Prosecutors have photos of the man they say is Nicholas Rossi, including his distinctive tattoos.
