I know you're not fully caught up Zakalwe, but there's some weak stuff in here.
I agree that has been known to plan claims out well in advance (and it's especially likely given he had a seer type power he could use to "prove" his innocence in some way.) However, how often do we actually see a wolf set up a question for another wolf? It's the sort of thing that people speculate on quite a bit, but I don't think it really happens all that much in practice.
Personally, I'm tempted to drink the wine and file this under "let's revisit when we know more." I certainly don't think we should lynch anyone over this.
I think we're past the point where we're lacking scum reads. And if anyone is "expendable" at this point, shouldn't the lurkers come first?

It's just a little bit too obvious, though. In short, this is deep WIFOM territory. I'm kind of tempted to just toss that glass of wine into the fireplace and lynch Maniac.

At any rate, I think lynching one of the three neighbors is a decent idea if we generally lack scum reads. They are expendible, in terms of powers.
