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.
In your opinion, are we now going to see prosecution of other individuals further up the management tree?
