Boeing could be heading towards a legal showdown with the Department of Justice over an agreement stemming from two deadly crashes in 2018 and 2019.

The DOJ had initially decided not to prosecute Boeing for a list of criminal charges, following the death of more than 360 people lost in two separate crashes of Boeing 737 Max 8 planes in Indonesia and Ethiopia. However, attorneys for some of the victim's families say the Max 9 door plug blowout over Oregon could essentially blow up that deferred prosection agreement over a violation of the terms of the agreement.

"It's only a sweetheart deal if you comply with the conditions of the agreement. The question is now, ‘has Boeing complied with the terms of the deferred prosecution agreement?’" he said. Lindquist says, plainly speaking, a deferred prosecution agreement is designed to make sure a company like Boeing doesn't screw up again.
