The settlement drew swift criticism from victims’ families who wanted Boeing to face a trial and suffer harsher financial consequences. Still, the plea spares Boeing a contentious trial that could have exposed the company’s decisions ahead of the fatal crashes to even greater public scrutiny. It would also make it easier for the planemaker, which will have a new CEO later this year, to try to move forward as it seeks approval for its planned acquisition of Spirit AeroSystems.
Lawyers for some of the victims’ families said they planned to press Judge Reed O’Connor, who has been overseeing the case, to reject the deal.
