The Nicholas Alahverdian Story

[The Garbage Scow]

What I can't tell from that article is if he wound up like that because he's grossly fat and wasn't wearing a proper belt or if he deliberately pantsed himself as a pathetic defensive tactic. All of it sounds like a 25 year old Tom Green skit.

EDIT: Fox reports he's now in Utah

I'm happy for the long-suffering Scots.

"Huckling" may be the least of Alahverdian's problems in a serious American prison. Especially with his poor physical condition (morbid obesity), he would be at serious risk of much worse harm in a general prison population. He needs to be in a special unit for his protection and receive special food (Nutraloaf (T-H-L)) for his health condition and psychological adjustment.

Alahverdian, now back on American soil, awaits hearing in Utah jail

Dinsmore said officers initially took custody of Alahverdian — who also goes by Nicholas Rossi — because the Davis County Sheriff’s Office has a contract with the U.S. Marshals Service to house federal detainees in that region.

Ah. That explains it. I only checked Utah and Salt Lake counties, because that's where his warrants are.

[The Garbage Scow]

His first court hearing date is January 23rd. They're not wasting any time.

Rossi extradition: why wasn’t I told, asks alleged rape victim

A woman who claims she was raped by Nicholas Rossi in England received no warning over his deportation from Scotland to the United States, a move that has halted her hopes of getting justice and been branded a “genuine scandal”.

... his abrupt departure blindsided Essex police, which had arrested Rossi over claims that he raped a woman in Chelmsford in 2017 and was in the later stages of an active investigation.
Outstanding domestic cases must usually be resolved before extraditions can proceed.

The Times understands that Essex police was only informed by counterparts in Scotland that Rossi was being sent to the US immediately before he was put on a plane. The force then had to break the news to the woman who was allegedly attacked in her home by him.

A senior legal figure described the behaviour of the Scottish authorities as “outrageous and disreputable”.
“The Scottish government’s desperate desire to please the Americans meant that they were willing to sabotage an active investigation by an English police force,” they said.
“As a consequence it is now almost certain that this woman in Essex will be denied justice. It has the makings of a genuine scandal.”

In all seriousness, the fact that this "senior legal figure" wouldn't identify himself (or herself) strongly suggests that the Essex Police force is actually pretty happy that they're not going to have to deal with this guy in person. And whoever it is probably knows quite well that the folks in Scotland didn't extradite him to "please the Americans."

Anyhoo, now that he's in Utah I'd estimate the chances of Mr. Alahverdian claiming to still be a "loyal member of the Church of Latter Day Saints" at about 99.9%, despite his claiming to have publicly converted to Judaism just a few months ago.

The Essex police might be glad that they won't have to deal with him, but they have a responsibility to the complainant. She's now been deprived of her chance to seek justice. If this has been done in anything less than an aboveboard manner, it will be a scandal.

Somebody should fly the Essex victim to Utah for the trial. She won't see her case addressed but she'll get a chance to see some savage justice meted out to her assailant -- probably much tougher than what he'd get in Essex. This includes not just a longer sentence but confinement in an unpleasant, more dangerous American prison. His prior escapes also mean he's going to get sent to a higher security (meaner) prison than he otherwise would for his offenses.

Alahverdian should start some serious Ozempic and exercise ASAP. He'll have "target" written all over him when he gets to his final destination.

May God have mercy on him because Utah sure won't.

They'll need to keep him in some kind of special area or even solitary for his own safety. Knowing his manipulative psychopath tendencies, he would deliberately beef with other prisoners in order to "get sympathy from the public". Or just to spread general chaos. I pity whichever guards wind up responsible for him.

I'm interested to see where the wheel of religious identities lands this time. Is there any advantage to pretending to be an Orthodox Jew in a Utah prison? For a normal person, no. It would be better to drop the act and try to blend in, but Alahverdian seems to thrive on playing the victim to try to control a situation. So maybe he'll keep up the act.

My, how much his life has changed in the decade+ since the lead section of his Wikipedia biography simply said

Nicholas Alahverdian (born July 11, 1987) is an American writer, lobbyist, and political activist. He is a former Rhode Island General Assembly legislative aide and an orphan who grew up in the care of the Department of Children, Youth and Families.

and was SNOW deleted because he was an insignificant crime victim and/or perpetrator.

BBC: Fugitive who faked death refuses court appearance

Judge Derek Pullan, of Utah's Fourth District Court, was told Rossi would not appear by video link from prison on Monday.

A new date of 6 February has been set for his appearance.

Judge Pullan told the court that if Rossi was not ill then he would "authorise reasonable force to compel his attendance".

Has pissing off the Judge ever proved an effective strategy in a court of law?

[MoldyHay]

He may be under the impression that the case can’t proceed if he doesn’t appear. There’s some truth to that under the Sixth Amendment but a defendant can’t deprive the state of a fair trial by not appearing, so they have Ways of making him cooperate no matter how disruptive he is.

To the surprise of absolutely no one, Alahverdian refused to attend the hearing. Once again, "reasonable force" will be used next time. The only interesting thing here is that he has a different lawyer for each case. That may be completely normal, I don't know.

I assume that the lawyers are court appointed. According to that article his lawyer in this case is Samantha Dugan who works for the Salt Lake Legal Defender Association which is "a nonprofit legal organization that provides representation to indigent individuals accused of crimes in Salt Lake County." So different county, different lawyer.
