I heard about it in a podcast but for the life of me I can't remember which one. It might have even been Dateline.

And he claims his fingerprints are a match because they too were taken while he was unconscious and passed to the authorities to use as originals.

And still no idea why he hasn’t been DNA matched

Exactly!

The Dateline episode aired in April and was called “Dead Man Talking”. I only listened to the podcast version, but I assume it was a regular episode. As an American, his accent sounded ridiculously fake to me. I would be interested to know what locals think. (I can’t remember what accent he was even trying to do.)

conveniently, neither can he.

Look, I'm just saying: if I was a chubby man from Rhode Island attempting to escape justice, I'd try for a gambit that didn't come straight out of a 'Family Guy' episode.

The 35-year-old learned his fate at Edinburgh Sheriff Court today when Sheriff Norman McFadyen ruled there is no impediment to him being extradited.

Sheriff McFadyen's ruling will now be considered by Scottish ministers.

Rossi appeared at the court today by video link after claiming to be unwell.

He was bent over at the waist, dressed in a green jumper and did not show his face.

When asked if he is Rossi, he did not answer.

Rossi's lawyer Mungo Bovey KC attempted to delay proceedings and asked for Rossi to be excused.

Sheriff McFadyen suggested Rossi had attended court by videolink 'voluntarily', but in an angry outburst Rossi said he had been brought before the camera by 'physical force' and he called the sheriff 'a disgrace to justice'.

Are we sure he's not George Santos?

Sheriff McFadyen added: "I conclude that he is as dishonest and deceitful as he is evasive and manipulative. These unfortunate facets of his character have undoubtedly complicated and extended what is ultimately a straightforward case."
