Boeing plea deal tied to fatal crashes rejected
WASHINGTON — A Boeing plea deal intended to resolve a case related to two fatal crashes of its planes has been rejected by a US judge.The plane maker agreed with the US government in July to plead guilty to one count of criminal fraud, face independent monitoring, and pay a $243m (£191m) fine.However, Judge Reed O'Connor struck down the agreement on Thursday, saying it undermined the court and that diversity requirements for hiring the monitor were "contradictory".Family members of the 346 people killed in the crashes welcomed the ruling, describing the plea deal as a "get-out-of-jail-free card for Boeing".The Department of Justice said it was reviewing the decision. Boeing did not immediately comment.In his decision, Judge O'Connor said the government's...
