Cassel said

They can’t just walk back from that,

Robert A. Clifford, lead counsel in a civil litigation case against Boeing currently pending in federal district court in Chicago, said in remarks shared with the Washington Examiner

While D.O.J. claims no final decision has been made, their scripted presentation made it clear that the outcome has already been decided,

Erin R. Applebaum, a lawyer at Kreindler & Kreindler, a firm that represents 34 families who lost loved ones in one of the crashes, said in a statement

This is morally repugnant. It is a slap on the wrist. And it feels like a bribe,

said Sanjiv Singh, an attorney who represents 16 victims in the 2018 crash of a Lion Air Boeing 737 Max

We are appalled by this sudden possible retreat from criminal prosecution of Boeing. A non-prosecution agreement is morally repugnant and lacks the teeth and bite to cause fundamental change in Boeings safety practices.”

Sanjiv Singh, counsel for 16 families of crash victims, said
