A US judge has dismissed a criminal case against Boeing over the two crashes of its 737 Max 8 jetliners, which killed 346 people.

美國法官駁回了針對波音公司兩起 737 Max 8 墜機事件的刑事案件，這兩起事件共造成 346 人死亡。

過去簡單式

Judge Reed O' Connor made the move following a request from the Department of Justice, but

Reed O' Connor 法官在接獲司法部的請求後做出這項決定，但

to 不定詞

harshly criticised the decision, saying the government had failed to secure the necessary accountability to ensure the safety of the flying public.

嚴厲批評了這項決定，表示政府未能確保必要的問責，以保障飛行大眾的安全。

Both crashes were blamed on the flawed design of one of its flight control systems.

兩起墜機事件都被歸咎於其飛航控制系統的設計缺陷。

The Justice Department originally agreed a deal with Boeing to avoid prosecution in 2021 over allegations they had hid the problem, but

司法部最初在 2021 年與波音達成協議，以避免因涉嫌隱瞞問題而起訴，但

said in May 2024 it had violated that agreement.

在 2024 年 5 月表示波音違反了該協議。

LA North America business correspondent Michelle Fleury can explain a little bit more about the background to this story now.

北美商業記者 Michelle Fleury 現在可以為我們多解釋一點這個故事的背景。

Boeing, from this agreement and dismissal of this case will now be consult bringing in their own consultant.

波音公司將從這項協議和案件的駁回中，引進他們自己的顧問。

They'll choose their consultant, rather than being an independent monitor within Boeing, to check that it follows regulations over the next three years safely.

他們將自行選擇顧問，而不是由波音內部的獨立監督員來檢查其未來三年是否能安全地遵守法規。

The judge here saying it will be a danger to the flying public.

法官在這裡表示，這將對飛行大眾構成危險。

I mean, this is not a great look for Boeing.

我的意思是，這對波音來說不是什麼好事。

Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, look, in some ways it shouldn't be a surprise because we knew that the Department of Justice had put in this request for the case to be dismissed.

是啊，我的意思是，我想，你知道，看看，在某些方面這不應該讓人驚訝，因為我們知道司法部已經提出了要求，希望駁回此案。

Nonetheless, obviously, as you read this 10 page from Judge Reed O', Connor, it is pretty startling and I think you picked out some of the key points there.

儘管如此，顯然，正如你讀到的奧康納法官這份 10 頁的說明，這相當驚人，我認為你挑出了其中一些要點。

On the one hand, basically, he noted that the government, in making this request, hadn't acted in bad faith, that they'd actually gone through fairly carefully in sort of citing the reasons why they thought this case should be dismissed.

一方面，基本上，他指出政府提出這項請求時，並沒有惡意，他們實際上已經仔細引用了他們認為應駁回此案的原因。

That being said, though, it's clear that the judge felt, you know, it wasn't his place to disagree with the government, and

話雖如此，但顯然法官覺得，這不是他的職責去不同意政府，而且

yet clearly he has reservations, which he expresses in this judgment.

然而，他顯然有疑慮，並在他的判決中表達了出來。

Basically, the point you're picking up on is the fact that Boeing won't be subject to an independent monitor.

基本上，你指出的重點是波音將不會受到獨立監督員的約束。

And I think that matters, obviously, because there has been so much concern about Boeing following these incidents involving the deadly crashes with the 737, about kind of the kind of safety of their build of their planes and the process of that.

我認為這很重要，顯然是因為在涉及 737 致命墜機事件之後，人們對波音的安全問題，以及他們的飛機製造和相關流程，一直有很大的擔憂。

And this was something that the families had been pushing for.

而且這是家屬們一直極力爭取的。

On the other hand, the other thing is it goes to, you know, something we've seen a while, and

另一方面，另一件事是，你知道，這是我們已經看到一段時間的事情，

that is that Boeing has been working with the administration, not just under Donald Trump, but

那就是波音公司一直在與政府合作，不論是川普政府時期，

also under the previous Biden administration, to try and resolve some of these legal issues.

也包括前任拜登政府時期，試圖解決一些法律問題。

You may recall that it had agreed to plead guilty under the Biden administration, then there was a non prosecution agreement that was agreed last year with the government.

你可能還記得，在拜登政府時期，波音同意認罪，然後去年與政府達成了一項不起訴協議。

And so this is sort of all attempts to try and put it behind.

所以這一切都是為了試圖將此事翻篇。

But in terms of the flying public, obviously this judge isn't convinced that necessarily this outcome is in the best interest of the flying public.

但就飛行公眾而言，顯然這位法官並不相信這個結果一定符合飛行公眾的最佳利益。

Yeah, he questioned the safety of the flying public, didn't he?

是的，他質疑了飛行公眾的安全，不是嗎？

Michelle, thank you very much for your time on that story.

Michelle，非常感謝你花時間講述這個故事。
