U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor in Fort Worth said families should have been consulted before the deal avoided criminal penalties for Boeing executives.
Boeing was also required to pay a $234.6 million criminal fine.
But O’Connor ruled the deferred plea agreement was “negotiated in violation of the victim’s rights,” court documents say.crash of two 737 Max jets in 2018 and 2019 set off a worldwide investigation and damaged the reputation of Boeing , which was accused of putting profits before safety. Congressional and government investigators also questioned the credibility of the Federal Aviation Administration, which delegated much of the oversight for certifying the 737 Max to Boeing itself.
The crashes were blamed on a faulty software system meant to prevent the planes from stalling. But a combination of faulty sensors and a bad software system sent the planes into a nosedive, which pilots for the jets were unable to recover from. The planes were grounded for nearly two years, causing a shortage of aircraft at airlines worldwide, including two of the biggest customers, Fort Worth-based American Airlines and Dallas-based Southwest Airlines.
