(WBAP/KLIF) — A federal judge has ruled that relatives of people who died in the crashes of two Boeing 737 Max planes are crime victims.
The judge’s ruling, Friday, could help clear the way for families to challenge a settlement that spared Boeing from criminal prosecution. The court’s ruling means that the Justice Department should have notified families before privately negotiating a 2021 settlement with Boeing. Judge Teed O’Connor says the next step is deciding what remedies the families should get for not being told of the talks with the plane manufacturer.
Some relatives want to scrap the settlement.
