Sewol Ferry Captain Is Sentenced to Life in Prison
The Sewol Ferry incident, which has been mentioned by countless Korean entertainers throughout the past year, has finally found justice.
On April 28, the court sentenced Captain Lee Joon Suk to a lifetime in prison after he was charged for murder.
The Department of Justice found him guilty of intentionally murdering the passengers, saying, “The captain left his ship during an accident without any warning or evacuation order.”
“Lee Joon Suk failed to attempt any rescue procedures during the ‘golden time’ (window of opportunity) to provide aid and ran away by himself instead,” they criticized. “This is the same as a rescue chief escaping on a helicopter while leaving the skyscraper to burn.”
Previously, during the first trial, Lee Joon Suk was sentenced to 36 years in jail because he was not charged with murder nor for escaping the vessel.

. I dont think we can reach true justice here. All thouse families and friends who lost their loved ones..
interceding the students, we are your passenger responsibility..you should have required some safety life saving materials to have been prepared..now no more..a lesson learned to improve services to passengers..
limited work..who's concern are the life jackets? the ferry? the communication? him only? we are all only cogs of a wheel..
wen u throw old skin away into prison

Knee Knee damnnn
SK isn't in the habit of long sentences so this is a shock to me... still, he's safer in prison. It's sad for everyone.
He doesn't deserve this. Why? If he manages to come out of prison earlier, I assure you he would have a life worse than hell. He would be happier staying in prison.
He deserves the death penalty
No prison compares to the pain of knowing your child's life was taken away in the cold black waters that should have been the start of the trip of their schooling life.
interceding for other's work, unable to save the multitude but self, limited work I have, then any disaster prepared requirements for the passengers?
I'm sorry for being insensitive to the victims of this accident. I just really think that it's sad but I didn't say that he didn't deserve it. I'm just... I don't know. I'm confused with myself. Anyway, I'm sorry for offending you.
Those who are feeling sorry for him , I'm sure more than 300 parents are feeling way worse than being in a prison. It started as an accident. But when the accident happened, the students were still alive. But he did not bring enough life boats and life jackets on ferry. He told them "Don't move anywhere". But he wore one life jacket and ran away with life boat. Even a 9 years old boy gave his life jacket to his younger sister and he never came back. A high school student gave his life jacket to his friends and went back into the ferry to give out more life jackets and he never came back. You wouldn't feel sorry if one of your child , parent or family member died on that ferry.

dying for others..during creation, let us make man in our own image..therefore, others are based on us..we live than depend..we are responsible than hope..we are prepared than doing nothing..
Although he did commit a crime, I can't help but feel bad for him. Life in prison... so he's going to spend the rest of his life there and die there. That's.... really sad for me.
No. A 9 years old boy gave his only life jacket to his younger sister and he died. A high school student gave his life jacket to his friend and went back into the ferry to give life jackets and he never came back. Even younger ones are responsible and caring others than saving their own life.
the international justice to come up to measures of work-related incidents..honestly we wanna work to live..we hold the lives of people but any untoward incident that may come our way, should give us the self survival inspiration..then fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom..we express ourselves to lessen the punishment..we are all expressive to save our life..
I feel super conflicted..........
This is not fair at all ...
