And why was that not offered to Luigi?
They think they have a solid frame-up
Do we know that one wasn't offered? I was under the impression that Luigi has been pretty set on fighting the charges from the get go.
That could certainly be part of an answer to my question, were I to receive one.
"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.
The burden of proof of your own statements does not fall upon others.
No, I'm asking a question.
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.
Plea Deals don't go to people pleading innocent. You don't get leniency for dragging the judicial process out and costing the state and federal lots of time and money.
Yes they do. You agree to change your plea to guilty in exchange for some guarantees regarding sentencing.
Yes, precisely, by taking a plea deal you change your plea to guilty. Not innocent.
