What I want to know is this: was there a certain reason the mafia killed Shorty?
Why would you be in danger? All the Day 1 heat moved off of you, from two, no, three people who were about to string you up. Granted, Jiro already had three votes, and he had the older vote, but Shorty clearly wanted to jump ship, and I had too as well in order to bring anything to a boil. Sadly, the only one slightly incriminated by the sudden reversal of fortune is me, since the other two are both a) dead and b) town. But you were not especially vocal yesterday, so the likelihood of you dying was low.

Shorty died for the same reason I did not; the town has to talk their way to victory, so silencing voices is key. I was too risky to kill; might be the Doctor for being so bold, the Doctor might protect the boldest speaker, and I was an obvious target from both side's perspectives.
