After allegedly violating the terms of a 2021 deferred prosecution agreement, Boeing is reportedly working to avoid a criminal trial.

After allegedly violating the terms of a 2021 deferred prosecution agreement, Boeing is reportedly working with the U.S. Department of Justice to avoid a criminal trial, according to reporting in the New York Times .

Former Pierce County Prosecuting attorney Lindquist, now a private aviation attorney, represents 78 of the victims’ families. “Normally, if a defendant negotiated a sweetheart plea bargain, as Boeing did here, and then violated the terms of the deal, DOJ would bring the hammer down hard,” Lindquist said. “If DOJ doesn’t bring the hammer down here it’s because of politics, not proof of problems.”Families of those who died in Boeing crashes press DOJ for prosecution
