Professor Paul Cassell, a former federal judge and expert in criminal law, is quoted in The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, and other national publications about the Boeing Max case, most recently the plea deal that would allow Boeing to avoid a trial.
Cassell represents the Boeing Max crash victims’ families and was first quoted in articles this year about the Department of Justice’s May 14 court filing, which ruled that Boeing breached the terms of a federal government settlement to resolve a charge linked to the deadly crashes of two 737 Max aircraft. He noted that the DOJ’s filing opened the company to potential criminal prosecution.
