Boeing is set to face trial on June 23 in a criminal fraud case related to its 737 MAX aircraft, following two fatal crashes that killed 346 people. In July, the company agreed to plead guilty to a conspiracy charge, committing to a significant fine and safety improvements. However, the original plea deal faced rejection from US District Judge Reed O'Connor, who stressed the severity of Boeing's actions. Families of the victims have criticized the plea deal as inadequate, and Boeing is now seeking to withdraw it as they engage in ongoing negotiations with the Justice Department.
