• Relatives of those killed in two 737 MAX crashes intend to speak at the court.
• A judge ordered Boeing to appear to be charged with a crime in 2021.
• Boeing received immunity from criminal prosecution.

According to a court document, more than a dozen kin of those killed in two catastrophic Boeing (BA.N) 737 MAX crashes intend to speak at the planemaker’s federal court arraignment in Texas on Thursday.

Following objections from the relatives of those who died in two tragic crashes to a 2021 plea deal, US District Judge Reed O’Connor ordered Boeing to appear to be charged with a crime in 2021 last week. As part of a $2.5 billion January 2021 Justice Department deferred prosecution agreement on a 737 MAX fraud conspiracy charge related to the aircraft’s poor design, the aircraft giant received immunity from criminal prosecution.
