A federal judge heard arguments on whether or not he should approve plea deal between Boeing and U.S. Government.
On Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Reed O'Connor heard arguments in Fort Worth about whether or not he should approve a plea deal between Boeing and the U.S. Department of Justice over two 737 Max jetliner crashes that killed 346 people.Boeing paying a fine of at least $243.6 million, $455 million on compliance and safety programs, and be placed on probation for three years, under the supervision of an oversight monitor that would be chosen by the DOJ.
Victims' families also said a key component needs to be an independent corporate monitor, to make sure Boeing complies with safety rules to prevent future crashes. The U.S. government, they added, is a major customer of Boeing's. During court, Cassell argued that had Boeing answered the pilots' questions, lives would have been saved.
“We need to have Boeing held accountable, and that means having a criminal trial exposing all the information and all the data that the Department of Justice has and pointing a finger at individuals," said Chris Moore, father of crash victim Danielle Moore.
