News summary

Families of the victims from two Boeing 737 MAX crashes are urging U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor to reject a plea deal between Boeing and the Justice Department, which involves a guilty plea to a criminal fraud conspiracy and a payment of $243.6 million. They filed a motion in federal court opposing the deal, citing concerns over its fairness, including 'outdated and misleading' facts and a lack of accountability for Boeing's leadership. The deal allows Boeing to pay the fine over three years while under independent monitoring, but families argue it is insufficient for what they label as potentially the 'deadliest corporate crime in U.S. history.' The Justice Department claimed Boeing knowingly made false statements regarding key software that contributed to the crashes, and the families are preparing to submit a comprehensive objection before the judge makes a decision. Boeing has committed to improving safety and compliance in response to the situation, but the families remain dissatisfied with the settlement terms.
