"He claimed the blame for the disaster that killed 32 people lay with his employer Costa Cruises and said the media had portrayed him unfairly."
Dis the employer force him to beach the ship on the rocks? Have I missed something?
"In this court a lot of words have been said to destroy my dignity.
I think that went when you legged it off the ship before all your passengers were off mate !

Two words - human nature.
It is an inbuilt reaction in human beings to try and paint themselves in the best light possible, even in the light of masses of evidence to the contrary.
Reports at the time confirm that the captain did not abandon his ship, he 'fell off'' - and how a similar lapse in balance caused him to 'fall into' a taxi at the quayside and disappear rapidly as the tragedy unfolded.
But even so, his human nature and it's instinct to try and make himself look better is still firing on all cylinders - he appears full of both self-obsession and self-pity, given what the world knows took place on the awful day.
But he will continue to try and place the blame elsewhere for the simple reason that if you can make it someone else's fault, it doesn't have to be your fault, and you can live with yourself a little better.
I don't for a moment think that the captain's view of events is going to save him from a sentence that reflects his culpability, but he will die denying that it was his fault.

Yes, you have. The ship hit a rock because it was taking a different "impress the people" route nearer to shore - after hitting the rocks he then beached the boat in an attempt to prevent it sinking. He is perhaps claiming that the change of route was allegedly his Employer's idea.
Deserting the ship etc is, I agree, reprehensible.

Is there any truth in what he says ? If yes then perhaps he may being unfairly treated
//Schettino, 54, claims equipment failures complicated the situation on the sinking vessel and he held off calling the evacuation because he wanted to avoid people panicking and jumping into the sea.
His lawyers say he had calculated that tide and wind conditions would carry the listing ship closer to the shore, making evacuation safer.
The Italian says the reef was not on nautical charts and claims sailing close to Giglio to impress passengers was encouraged by the ship's owner //.

The captain of the ship is responsible for the ship. That means that he should have had routine checks done on all equipment, and he should have refused to sail if such dangerous faults were found. If faults developed during the cruise, he should have stopped the ship for repairs.
He Really Really must give details of these faults, and explain how come it was not his duty by insisting on regular testing and checking , to ensure there was a fully functioning emergency rescue system .
