When Sohn Ji-tae realized the growing number of casualties, he was shocked, ridden with guilt and tried to commit suicide, his lawyer said, as the trial of 15 ferry crew members resumed Tuesday.

Defense lawyers for the remaining crew members say that the ferry staff barely managed to escape from the stricken vessel and blamed the owners of the Sewol for adding more passenger cabins to the 20-year-old vessel, which altered its weight and balance. One told the court that relevant people from the ferry company and those who are supposed to be monitoring the ship¡¯s modifications should be punished. ³ª¸ÓÁö ¼±¿øµéÀ» À§ÇÑ Çǰí Ãø º¯È£ÀδÜÀº ¼±¿øµéµµ Á¶³ ¼±¹ÚÀ¸·ÎºÎÅÍ °¡±î½º·Î Å»ÃâÇßÀ¸¸ç, 20³â µÈ ¼±¹Ú¿¡ °´½Ç ¼ö¸¦ ´õÇØ ¹«°Ô¿Í ±ÕÇüÀ» ¹Ù²Û °Í¿¡ ´ëÇØ ¼¼¿ùÈ£ÀÇ ¼ÒÀ¯ÁÖµéÀ» ºñ³ÇÑ´Ù°í ÀüÇÑ´Ù.

The captain, Lee Joon-seok, the first mate and two others face murder charges. The prosecutor¡¯s office said the four crew members didn¡¯t use the ship¡¯s facilities at their disposal — such as life rafts, life vests and announcements to evacuate passengers. ¼±Àå ÀÌÁؼ®¾¾¿Í ÀϵîÇ×ÇØ»ç, ±×¸®°í ´Ù¸¥ µÎ ¸íÀÇ ¼±¿øµéÀº »ìÀÎÁË·Î ±â¼ÒµÆ´Ù. °ËÂûûÀº À̵é 4¸íÀÇ ¼±¿øµéÀº ÀڽŵéÀÌ »ç¿ëÇÒ ¼ö ÀÖ´Â ¼±¹ÚÀÇ ±¸¸íÀåºñÀÎ ±¸¸íÁ¤, ±¸¸íÁ¶³¢¸¦ »ç¿ëÇÏÁö ¾Ê¾Ò°í ½Â°´µé¿¡°Ô ´ëÇÇÇϵµ·Ï °æ°íÇÏÁöµµ ¾Ê¾Ò´Ù°í ¸»Çß´Ù.
According to prosecutors, the crew members could have carried out a far more effective rescue operation, listened to requests for help, rather than ignore them, and could have made taking care of the passengers their first priority, rather than taking care of themselves. Lee has plead not guilty to murder and most of the charges he faces. °ËÂû¿¡ µû¸£¸é ¼±¿øµéÀº ÈξÀ ´õ È¿°úÀûÀÎ ±¸Á¶ÀÛ¾÷À» ¼öÇàÇÒ ¼ö ÀÖ¾ú°í, µµ¿Í´Þ¶ó´Â ¿äûÀ» ¹«½ÃÇϱ⺸´Ù ±×¿¡ ±Í¸¦ ±â¿ïÀÏ ¼öµµ ÀÖ¾úÀ¸¸ç, ÀڽŵéÀ» µ¹º¸±âº¸´Ù´Â ½Â°´µéÀ» ¸ÕÀú µ¹º¼ ¼ö ÀÖ¾ú´Ù°í ¸»Çß´Ù.

One mother asked the crew members in court why they didn¡¯t tell the students to evacuate the ship. She said she spoke with her daughter on the phone after the ship started tilting. Her daughter assured her she would be rescued and not to worry. As the mother spoke, other family members sobbed.

Defense lawyers for the crew say the ferry tilted very quickly, sinking within 90 minutes, and that they (the crew) had the constitutional right to evacuate. The lawyers drew jeers from the families when they said that rescuers would not have been able to rescue all the passengers on board. With no jury, the judge will determine the verdict, which is expected in November. ¼±¿øµéÀÇ º¯È£ÀδÜÀº ¹è°¡ ¾ÆÁÖ »¡¸® ±â¿ï¸ç 90ºÐÀ̳»¿¡ ħ¸ôÇßÀ¸¸ç, ¼±¿øµéÀº ´ëÇÇÇÒ Çå¹ý»óÀÇ ±Ç¸®°¡ ÀÖ¾ú´Ù°í ¸»Çß´Ù. ±¸Á¶ÀÚµéÀÌ Å¾½ÂÇÑ ¸ðµç ½Â°´µéÀ» ±¸Á¶ÇÒ ¼ö´Â ¾ø¾úÀ» °ÍÀ̶ó°í º¯È£ÀδÜÀÌ ¸»ÇßÀ» ¶§ °¡Á·µé·ÎºÎÅÍ ¾ßÀ¯°¡ ÅÍÁ®³ª¿Ô´Ù. ¹è½É¿ø ¾øÀÌ ÆÇ»ç°¡ ÆÇ°áÀ» ³»¸± °ÍÀ̸ç, ±× ½Ã±â´Â 11¿ùÀÏ °ÍÀ¸·Î ¿¹»óµÈ´Ù.
