Families of 737 MAX crash victims to object to deal allowing Boeing to avoid prosecution
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Families of some of the 346 people killed in two fatal Boeing 737 MAX crashes plan to object to a tentative nonprosecution agreement between the planemaker and the U.S. Justice Department, a lawyer said on Saturday. The Justice Department outlined the tentative deal in a more than two-hour meeting with families on Friday and said in a court filing on Saturday that they would have until Thursday to file written objections. Paul Cassell, a lawyer for the families, said they would object "to any deal along the lines described by DOJ yesterday, because it fails to hold Boeing accountable for the 'deadliest corporate crime in U.S. history,'" citing the prior comments of U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor.
