US judge to hold hearing on family objections to Boeing plea deal
Oct 3, 2024 12:12 AM

Sept 27 (Reuters) - U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor

said Friday he will hold a hearing on Oct. 11 to consider

objections from relatives of those killed in two Boeing

737 MAX crashes to the planemaker's agreement to plead guilty to

criminal fraud conspiracy.

On July 24, the planemaker finalized an agreement to plead

guilty to a criminal fraud conspiracy charge and pay up to $487

million after breaching a 2021 deferred prosecution agreement.

Family members argue the fine is too low and raised other

objections to the plea deal. O'Connor will also consider

objections to the agreement filed by Polish national airline LOT

before he decides whether to accept the plea deal.
