Francesco Schettino, the former captain of the Costa Concordia ship that wrecked off the coast of an Italian island, is being let back onto the Costa Concordia ship to help inspectors look at the boats generators, on Thursday.
The former captain is being put on trial for manslaughter after 32 people on the ship died from drowning.
Schettino is arguing that it is not his fault that those people died; the fault lies with the back-up generators not working mixed with a poorly trained crew, according to the Assocaited Press.
Lawyers for Schettino also claim that on the first inspection that, "people have been working here. The scene is no longer as it was, there's been a complete modification of the state of things.” Prosecutors then opened up an investigation against Franco Porcellacchia, Concordia's legal guardian, and Camillo Casella, a consultant, in respect to an unauthorized visit to the ship, according to Gazzetta Del Sud .
On January 23, 2012, Schettino steered the cruise liner too close to the Italian island, in which it hit a reef. After the ship started capsizing, people still on the ship started jumping off because the lifeboats could not be deployed. Schettino abandoned the ship before all the passengers were off.
