# The judge rejected Boeing's plea agreement in the 737 MAX criminal case

> A federal judge in Texas has rejected the plea agreement reached between Boeing and the U.S. Department of Justice regarding the 737 MAX crash, stating that the agreement improperly limited the court's authority and imposed diversity considerations on the selection of monitors. Judge O'Connor pointed out that the prosecutors' explanations for selecting monitors were inconsistent, emphasizing that the public should trust that the selection of monitors should be based on competence to uphold judicial fairness

A federal judge in Texas has rejected a plea agreement between Boeing and the U.S. Department of Justice regarding two fatal 737 MAX crashes. U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor declined to approve the agreement, stating that it improperly constrained the court's authority by imposing considerations of diversity on the appointment of an external monitor to oversee Boeing's future legal compliance. O'Connor wrote that the prosecutors provided him with "inconsistent and contradictory explanations" regarding the role that race or diversity would play in selecting the monitor. In such a significant case, it is crucial to maximize the preservation of judicial fairness and ensure that the public believes the selection of the monitor is based solely on competence
