Us Judge Politicizes Boeing 737 Plea Deal

Boeing’s plea agreement over two fatal 737 MAX plane crashes has been thrown into doubt by a Texas federal judge’s focus on the US Department of Justice’s diversity policy. U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor has asked for briefs on the policy, which is mentioned in the deal, to be submitted by Friday. The plea agreement calls for the company to plead guilty to conspiring to defraud regulators in connection with the crashes. Families of the victims have filed briefs urging O’Connor to reject the deal, saying it fails to properly hold Boeing accountable for the deaths.
