1. FERRY CAPTAIN'S FATE

Verdict delivered: Lee Joon-seok, the South Korean ferry captain who jumped to safety while the hundreds of people remained inside the sinking ship, was sentenced today to 36 years in jail. Prosecutors had sought the death penalty for Lee, alleging that he did not use the available equipment such as life rafts, life vests and announcements to evacuate the passengers.

Nine people remain missing.
