Manslaughter trial set for Capt Schettino

[Rockstar]

Looks like ol' captain Schettino of the Costa Concordia is going to be made to take a long and lonely walk down a very short pier.

Costa Cruises, a unit of Carnival Corp , agreed to pay a 1-million-euro ($1.29 million) fine to settle potential criminal charges in April. That means that Schettino will be the only person tried for the maritime disaster.

He was in command of that ship doing that 'sail-by', his responsibility and not his uber bosses. Just because they'd authorised similar before doesn't give him automatic rights to do it.

Captain Schettino? More a carricature of that.

Looks like he's in deep Schett now.
