Their attorney, Paul Cassell, is challenging the agreement, which he said gives immunity to Boeing and its executives at the time. The families say they had no input in the agreement between Boeing and the Justice Department because prosecutors wouldn't recognize them as crime victims. Court records show after the judge's ruling, prosecutors met with the victims' families and agreed that going forward, they would meet with representatives about certain decisions in the case. During Thursday's hearing, the families also asked the judge add an independent monitor to ensure Boeing is committed to safety.
