Nicholas Rossi: False names, a fake death and the flight from justice
Arthur Knight was an Irishman, wrongly arrested – he claimed – whilst recovering from a coma in a Glasgow hospital. Except “Arthur Knight” didn’t exist.
His real name is Nicholas Rossi – a convicted sex offender, originally from the United States, who is now facing trial in Utah on two further counts of rape.
But for years, he attempted to convince Scottish authorities he was the victim of a wild conspiracy.
Rossi’s extradition hearing was covered at the time by Sky News’ correspondent, James Matthews, who joins Niall Paterson on The Daily to relive those extraordinary events ahead of the start of his new trial.
Producers: Emily Hulme and Emma Rae Woodhouse
