A bid by US fugitive Nicholas Rossi to have his extradition hearing cancelled has been thrown out by a sheriff.
Lawyers for Rossi, 35, argued the extradition case, due to start on Monday, shouldn’t get underway as he’s also being sought in England for questioning over an alleged rape.
His legal team argued the “degree of uncertainty” over the allegations down south created an “unfair” and “prejudicial” situation for their client.
