(ROUGH CUT ONLY - NO REPORTER NARRATION)<br/> <br />Captain Francesco Schettino arrived at a pre-trial court hearing on Tuesday (October 16) for the second day of legal discussions to decide if he should face a full trial for his actions in the Costa Concordia cruise ship tragedy and the subsequent deaths of 32 people.<br/> <br />The 114,500 tonne luxury cruise ship capsized on January 13 after approaching the Tuscan island of Giglio to perform a manoeuvre close to the shore known as a salute. The vessel struck a rock which tore a gash in its hull.<br/> <br />Schettino has admitted he made mistakes but has accused the company of mishandling the response. He said last week he was suing Costa Cruises, a unit of Carnival Corp., for unfair dismissal following the accident.<br/> <br />Held up to ridicule in Italy and abroad since the disaster, he faces charges of multiple manslaughter and abandoning ship during a chaotic night-time evacuation of 4,200 passengers and crew. Two bodies have still not been recovered. The ship is still sitting half-submerged on a rocky shelf off the island.
