Two lawyers are talking about another person suspected of embezzlement in
[『スーツ』](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUITS/%E3%82%B9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%84_\(%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E3%81%AE%E3%83%86%E3%83%AC%E3%83%93%E3%83%89%E3%83%A9%E3%83%9E\)).

私が犯人だったとしても-- even if I were a culprit

But I am not sure what 幸村 means exactly here. I see two possibilities:

  1. She is using herself as an unlikely example to rebut 甲斐's すべきじゃない, implying 甲斐 would react quite differently: "Would you also report me, were I ever a culprit?"

  2. She is saying: Are you doubting me? Are you suspecting I might be complicit in this?

#2 doesn't seem very likely, because if it is #2, I don't what is omitted
after としても.




I haven't watched the show at all so it's possible that I'm totally wrong, but
given the background:

  * 甲斐 and 幸村 are new partners
  * 幸村 and 上杉 were old partners

in other words, 幸村 : 上杉 = 甲斐 : 幸村

And what the previous two lines say, without omission, are:

  * （私［幸村］は上杉に）弁明の機会を与える。
  * （あなた［幸村］は上杉に）す（=弁明の機会を与える）べきじゃない。

Then this line is possibly intended to be:

> 私［幸村］が犯人だったとしても（あなた［甲斐］は私［幸村］に弁明の機会を与えないのか）？
