A decade earlier? Barnett was in the middle of deposition against Boeing and was located at the hotel for the whistleblower retaliation case. [1]https://www.np

  Ok, I misremembered, it wasn't quite a decade, but the testimony happened in 2017, not recently. Why kill him almost 8 years later?

    Unless you've ever been a QM (Quality Manager), and a damn good one to boot, you wouldn't understand. We're a bit like Internal Affairs. We know where all the skeletons are. We take notes. To a point, as long as there is hope something'll actually get remedied, it doesn't have to go much further than that. Prove mens rea though, and we tend to be that perfect combination of places, names, who was involved, what they said, and where to find the evidence, because we were the ones who put it there. Just in case. A QA/QM with a conscience, notes, and evidence is an exec's absolute worst nightmare from the legal liability perspective. Criminal charges that pierce the corporate veil need names. If you were going to merc someone, they'd be the ones to merc.

  It was a second retaliation case against Boeing from this one person. I don't know what you think he would have testified now that would have been done previously.
