Good recap of trial by D. Gates in Seattle Times. Some of what transpired was very focused on MCAS and MAX issues as such - but reportedly defense counsel dealt with one key prosecution assertion by attacking credibility and lack of other evidence supporting the assertion which should have existed if said assertion were true ..... enough for reasonable doubt, quite!
Maybe time will reveal whether the government's case fell down because it was about giving the public a hanging to gawk at, and not one seeking to hold to account an actual key player in the MAX debacle. And to what extent active motion practice by defense counsel served to educate the judge and also to reduce - reduce starkly perhaps - the prosecution's room to maneuver.
