So they bribed him to plead guilty. There goes the lawsuit. Authority compounding the suffering of that poor family.

That's their case against the cruise company over and done with then

Fuck me, how is this case still being prosecuted. Its a lose lose situation regardless of the outcome. Just let the man go and build on mistakes that were made. Hes unlikely to step foot on a ship ever again let along allow a kid near any windows.

Such a tragedy. Heartbreaking.
