By Steven Godden, David MacNicol & Nichola RutherfordBBC ScotlandThe image of the bearded man in the wheelchair, wearing a three-piece suit and an oxygen mask has become a familiar one in Scotland. He claims he is an orphaned Irish man called Arthur Knight. But Scottish courts have ruled that he is actually Nicholas Rossi, a 35-year-old American wanted in the US over allegations of rape and sexual assault, and that he can be extradited to his homeland.
