Nicholas Rossi interrupted proceedings twice to say he wanted to 'dismiss counsel' which drew a warning from judge Norman McFadyen at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.
A lawyer fighting against the extradition of a rape suspect wanted in the US has argued in court it would be a “flagrant violation” of his human rights.
Rossi, 35, is wanted in the US in connection with alleged offences including rape and is contesting moves by authorities there to have him flown over to face trial. He also pointed out an executive board and not a judicial one would decide Rossi’s sentence should he be convicted of rape in the US and this could be considered another breach.
The lawyer was arguing Rossi had never been proven to be a US national with Sheriff Norman McFadyen when Rossi made the intervention. Rossi was arrested in the UK more than two years ago in connection with the alleged offences in the US.
