The captain of the Costa Concordia cruise ship was convicted Wednesday and sentenced to 16 years in prison for the 2012 wreck of the Italian liner that killed 32 passengers and crewmembers.

Francesco Schettino, 54, was found guilty of manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and abandoning ship off the western coast of Italy before many of the 4,200 passengers and crew had escaped.

The sentence was significantly less than the 26 years and 3 months requested by prosecutors, who called Schettino a "reckless idiot."

Schettino told the three-judge panel before deliberations began that his "head was sacrificed to serve economic interests" of his employer. He then began crying.

The Concordia's captain said he was "a few hours from a verdict that should have involved an entire organization and instead sees me as the only defendant."

He wasn't present when Judge Giovanni Puliatti read the verdict in a theater in Grosseto after the thr Captain schettino wife!
