er I mean ship...
Costa Crociere SpA, which offered support to the captain in the hours
after the emergency, has now turned its back on the man who is under
investigation for manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and abandoning his
ship. Schettino, who was jailed after he left the ship, is under house
arrest near Naples.
Costa in recent days has suspended Schettino, announced it is no longer
paying his legal fees and has signed on as a civil party in the
prosecution, a move that positions it as an injured party and would
allow it to seek damages in the case of a guilty verdict.


I have yet to see one report about the man more likely to be guilty of a crime than the
Captain of the ship.

The Staff Captain.
