A suspected US fugitive who claims to be the victim of mistaken identity reacted furiously in court after his lawyer accidentally called him by the wrong name.
Prosecutors contend the man is Nicholas Rossi, 34, who fled to Scotland from America to escape an array of alleged offences including rape.
The man, who claims he is actually Arthur Knight, appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Thursday for an extradition hearing.
Solicitor Becky Houston said she “appeared for Mr Knight” and the matter of his identification would be the subject of a full extradition hearing.
But she later slipped and referred to him as “Mr Rossi”, sparking anger from her client.
Sat in a wheelchair with a face mask linked to an oxygen tank, the man repeated, “Knight! Knight! Knight!, before being told to be quiet in court.
Sheriff Thomas Welsh QC replied: “Will everyone please calm down.”
The suspect, who is accused of faking his own death in the US, had earlier been warned about interrupting to talk during proceedings.
Ms Houston asked for the full hearing set for next month to be delayed. She said she had a “consultation” set with her client for next week.
The solicitor also said the defence were speaking with an expert to prepare submissions about conditions in Utah prisons.
US prosecutors claim the man is the Nicholas Rossi who raped a 21-year-old in Utah, in 2008. He is also said to have attacked women in Rhode Island, Ohio and Massachusetts. They say he has previously used the names Nick Alan, Nicholas Brown, Arthur Brown and Arthur Knight.
