      “Why was Luigi not offered a plea deal?” implies that you know that he was not offered a plea deal. I asked, do we know that? It would be news to me.

        A valid answer to my question could be “you’re wrong, he was.” I’m fully open to being wrong. The fact that nobody mentioned that he was is a strong indicator that he wasn’t.

              Your question hangs upon, it requires, a condition which has not been proven true therefor you’re claiming the condition is true by asserting the question is valid.

              Suggested changes in how you present the statement:

              “Was Luigi offered a plea deal? If not, why?”

                The default is that a plea deal is not offered.

                Please feel free to prove your assertion that he was given the option for a plea deal.
