    “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.
