- The U.S. Justice Department should take Boeing to trial in a criminal fraud case stemming from two fatal 737 MAX plane crashes and reject a tentative deal to allow the planemaker to avoid prosecution, a lawyer for some of the victims' families said.

Lawyer Paul Cassell said in a letter to the Justice Department on Thursday seen by Reuters that allowing Boeing BA.N to evade a trial or guilty plea would be a miscarriage of justice.

He added that the government's proposal would effectively allow Boeing to become its own probation officer by allowing it to avoid an independent monitor and instead hire its own compliance consultant.
