Federal Judge Rejects Boeing Plea Agreement
A federal judge, Reed O'Connor, has rejected Boeing's plea agreement with the Justice Department, which would have allowed the company to plead guilty to a felony conspiracy charge related to the misleading of U.S. regulators before two fatal 737 Max crashes that killed 346 people. The judge criticized the plea deal for its provisions concerning diversity in selecting an independent compliance monitor and for limiting judicial oversight, stating these aspects were against public interest. Families of the crash victims expressed satisfaction with the ruling, viewing the original deal as a 'sweetheart' agreement that failed to hold Boeing sufficiently accountable. The judge's decision opens up the possibility for new negotiations between Boeing and the Justice Department. Boeing has been under scrutiny since the crashes, which were linked to a flawed flight control system. Both Boeing and the Department of Justice have not yet commented on the ruling.
