Worst case
Lynch Manly (town). Simsanta (Vig/SK) kills town. Mafia kill town. Game over.
Lynch Sim (town). Mafia kills town. Not game over.
Maybe you're right, actually. You pressure lynched, and he never really needed to claim such a role, he's put it on himself somewhat, as he's made himself dangerous.
What if you're SK?
Ok, Unlynch: Manly
Lynch: Sim
Crazy to think Manly is back in this, he was pretty much dead man walking not long ago, and Sim was barely under suspicion until you pressure lynched him. Maybe you're right, actually.

You answered option A with answer B yourself. You targeted Hedger because obviously at that time, you were unaware that there is no doc. If there was a doc, I don't see him protecting anyone else apart from Barmyarmy and so did you and hence you went for Hedger.

I'm just pointing out the possibilities, I could be wrong but you aren't really helping your cause here.
And moreover, if I was mafia or 3rd party, I would have jumped to hammer Manly and wouldn't have even seemed very suspicious, because everyone had more or less decided on him. I kept waiting, for everyone else's opinions because after all we have to do the best for town.
