The DOJ is preparing to present the Boeing Company with a plea deal that would again allow the aerospace giant to avoid a trial over an alleged conspiracy.
a plea deal that would again allow the aerospace giant to avoid a trial over an alleged conspiracy to defraud the United States, according to attorneys for families of victims of two fatal Boeing 737 Max crashes who were briefed on the department's plans Sunday afternoon.
"The Justice Department is preparing to offer to Boeing another sweetheart plea deal," wrote attorneys Robert Clifford and Paul Cassell in a statement. "The deal will not acknowledge, in any way, that Boeing's crime killed 346 people. It also appears to rest on the idea that Boeing did not harm any victim. The families will strenuously object to this plea deal. Judge O'Connor will have to decide whether this no-accountability-deal is in the public interest.
"The company would be absolutely brutalized in a highly public trial," Lindquist said. "Boeing has way too much dirty laundry to risk the bright spotlight of a trial."Clifford and Cassell told the DOJ that the victims' families "will be traveling from around the world to go to the next hearing before Judge O'Connor in Texas "to fight this,'' according to the attorneys' statement.
But in May -- four months after the door plug fell off Alaska Airlines flight 1281 over Portland, Oregon -- the DOJ informed Boeing that the company had failed to live up to its obligations under the DPA. "I don't understand why they're offering the plea deal. They don't need to," Milleron said. "They should just take them to trial."
