Judge Blocks Boeing Plea Deal Over 737 Max Crash Settlements
TL;DR Summary
A federal judge in Texas has rejected a plea deal between Boeing and the U.S. Justice Department regarding the 737 Max crashes that killed 346 people, citing concerns over the selection process for an independent monitor. Judge Reed O'Connor criticized the agreement for undermining public confidence and for including diversity considerations in the monitor's appointment. The decision is seen as a victory for the victims' families, who argued the deal was too lenient. Boeing and the DOJ have 30 days to renegotiate the terms.
