How to slide the mask during the flesh in the United States

I met Nicholas Rossi for the first time – Arthur Knight, who insisted on calling him – in February 2022 in a corridor in the Edinburgh Sharif court.

There was to fight delivery to the United States, where he was accused of rape.

The sound that was sitting on his electric chair was wearing a three -piece suit, and wearing a wide hat, a graceful sound behind the oxygen mask telling anyone listening to this was a terrible misunderstanding.

Meanwhile, his hands were raising correspondent work cards.

On that day, a Russian departure set the tone of what became a familiar scene – a fragile performance in front of the cameras during which he raised them on his wheelchair on the sidewalk while trying to maneuver in a waiting taxi.

Later that evening, an unknown number was distinguished on my mobile phone and I heard the same annoying sound.

“Hello Stephen, it’s Arthur … Do you have a minute?”

Thus, a exercise in separating the truth from the imagination that lasts after three years, which I discovered in a new podcast as part of the strange crime series, but the real on the BBC sounds.

the name Nicholas Russian The interest came wider in December 2021 when he was arrested at the Kofid Pavilion at Glasgow Hospital.

Employees have realized his employees and his distinguished tattoo from the required notice.

The problem for the American authorities was that the man who was seeking to surrender was blinded to be a victim of the wrong identity.

He claimed that Arthur Knight, an unprecedented Irish -born orphan, was an orphan in America – and said he could have proven.

Two weeks after the first invitation of the phone, Arthur was sitting in the BBC Studio, his wife, Miranda, beside him, telling his story about the cameras.

He said he grew up in care in Dublin and fled to London when he was a teenager. There, he sold books with his friends at Camden Market, like Del Boy of only comedy and horses.

Years later he married Miranda in Bristol before they moved to Glasgow. He showed me their marriage certificate – accompanied by a special license from the Anglican Church, because “I will not lie to the head of the Bishop of Canterbury.”

Unless he could produce it was a birth certificate. Or passport.

He was mysterious about his day and could not say what happened to his old friends.

Sometimes the conversation deviated significantly like his accent – from the allegations that he survived in the bombing of the London Tube (he made a mistake in history) to a story about the Del Boys Rodney interview.

He has repeatedly denied that Nicholas Rossi was, but when I asked about the tattoo, he said he was “very tired” to show me his arms.

It was an unconvincing surreal performance that he was watching across the Atlantic Ocean by many people who realized the main character.

“I knew these hands anywhere,” Mary Grapenski later told me.

She was a university student in 2008 when Nicholas Russian sexually assaulted her on the way to class. Content and put in the record of the perpetrators of sexual crimes.

In Dayton, Ohio-the city where this attack took place-also spoke to the former Russian wife.

Catherine Hikindorne said she bought it by the red silk pajamas “Arthur”, which was wore out of the field.

Their miserable marriage lasted for eight months. The judge, who granted their divorce in 2016, said that Rossi was guilty “with a serious neglect of the duty and cruelty” because of his abusive behavior.

Talks like this helped fill the blanks.

Nicholas Russian Nicholas God was born in 1987. Russian was the name of his mother’s husband, who was at that time was the first offer to select Rod Island Engelbert Homberbenck.

As a teenager, he spent time in care, and after years, he enjoyed a degree of local fame as a child care campaign.

When reports appeared on the death of Alahverdian in 2020, politicians from the Rod Island State Hall praised.

According to the Internet, his last words were: “Fear is not running towards the grace of the sun.”

But it did not take long until this deception begins.

One of the investigators warned of the priest who was asked to arrange a memorial block against not going forward because “Nicholas is not dead.”

Instead, the authorities suspected that Rossi was somewhere in the United Kingdom, after he escaped after discovering that the FBI was investigating the alleged credit card fraud.

The Internet imprint that eventually prompted the hospital in the Glasgow-and the paradoxes was that the fugitive was recovering from a real experience near death in the form of Kovid.

In one of the early listening sessions, Sharif commented that the advancement of the case should not be “missile science”.

But the legal process continued and continues – in large part of it due to Russian strangeness.

There were an increasing court hall monologues, doubtful medical rings, and a theatrical joy, which was often directed to his lawyer as an introduction to their dismissal.

He sits in the general exhibition, and was rarely boring. Rossi’s claim that a corrupt hospital employee called Patrick and tattooed him while he was in a coma that was one of the unforgettable stock exchanges.

In the end, Sherif’s conclusion was that Arthur Knight Charid was “unreasonable” and “fictional”.

However, a Russian grabbed his story – even when he was approved to be delivered and the Supreme Court judges refused to appeal.

He stuck to his story while the American Fielders assembled him on a private plane, and the prison guards booked him in Utah County Prison.

He stuck to his story in the courtroom in Utah, until he did not suddenly.

In October last year, I set the routine sponsorship award online when the luxury English character disappeared.

In his speech with a clear American accent, the judge told that he was born Nicholas God before his name changed to Russian.

While he claimed that he had concealed his identity to escape the “death threats”, I found myself wondering why he chose that specified moment until the mask slips.

The epic continues, but the grandmother wore.

The conspiracies and farce are stripped while the dangerous allegations remain.

In August, Nicholas Rossi is scheduled to face the first separate rape. He denies all the charges.
