Dr Kunal Chowdhary said evidence 'suggested' Rossi had 'personality disorder', but he didn’t have an 'acute mental illness'
US fugitive Nicholas Rossi is mentally fit to be extradited to the United States, a psychiatrist told a court.
Dr Chowdhary evaluated Rossi, 35, via a video link in May from the city’s Saughton Prison where the accused is being held on remand. Giving evidence via video link, English-based psychiatrist Dr Chowdhary said he had been able to study Rossi’s previous medical records. Dr Chowdhary agreed with a suggestion from Rossi’s lawyer, Mungo Bovey KC, that his client had a “very strange collection of symptoms and behaviours”.The doctor said the evidence “suggested” Rossi had a “personality disorder”, but that could only be diagnosed after “multiple assessments”.
Those behaviours might include disregarding societal norms, volatile behaviour, and frequent disputes with authority, he added.
