A US judge has rejected Boeing’s plea deal related to two fatal crashes, stating the agreement lacked proper court oversight. Originally, Boeing had agreed to plead guilty to criminal fraud and pay a fine, but concerns were raised over the proposed monitoring and diversity provisions. The ruling adds more uncertainty to Boeing, which is already grappling with its safety record following multiple incidents. Families of crash victims criticized the plea deal as insufficient, while legal representatives see the ruling as a chance for more accountability from the Department of Justice.
