US fugitive Nicholas Rossi donned a black legal gown for his extradition hearing in the latest bizarre stunt he has pulled in a Scots courtroom.
The 35-year-old was brought into Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Monday in his wheelchair wearing the flowing garment before sitting amongst his legal team.
His attire drew no comment from Sheriff Norman McFadyen who has witnessed several of Rossi’s outbursts and tantrums at previous hearings.

Selome Hailu “The Bear” became an overnight sensation when its first season debuted in 2022 because of its visceral honesty about how it looks and feels to work in a restaurant. Much of the credit for that belongs to Courtney Storer. Storer, sister of series creator Chris Storer, has worked in high-profile kitchens from Verjus in Paris to Jon & Vinny’s in L.A., but her most recent job has been to serve as “The Bear’s” culinary producer, getting the writers, cast and crew acclimated to the world the series takes place in. “In Season 1, it was it was a lot of storytelling with the writers, but also providing my journals and different training guides to give insight into the ethos of restaurants,” Storer says. “It’s bigger than the conflicts: It’s the decision-making, the structure, the procedures, the recipes.”
