WASHINGTON, July 31 (Reuters) - Families for some of the

346 people killed in two fatal Boeing 737 MAX crashes

said on Wednesday a U.S. judge should reject the planemaker's

proposed plea deal with the Justice Department and said the

government should seek a much higher fine.

On July 24, the planemaker finalized an agreement to plead

guilty to a criminal fraud conspiracy charge and pay between

$243.6 million to $487 million after breaching a 2021 deferred

prosecution agreement.
