Not really. We did need to see if the wolves were actually willing to pass up a kill in order to frame someone/create uncertainty/whatever.

Naturally, her death confirmed her and her motives in suggesting The Plan as innocent. What would that accomplish for the wolves? Obviously, it would throw an innocent light on those who had supported her (probably including some wolves), and a more dubious one on her opponents. (The Plan itself, of course, was void at the time, with the Seer dead.)
I agree it's about time we looked closer at the kills that did happen– but that's a rather complicated theory, Pitchy. It requires the wolves to have assumed that we'd assume they'd take a totally pointless revenge on Mnemo. (Back to the "newbie wolves" theory?)

Still, it is surprising they didn't leave her alive and try to frame her– "Look how she drew the Seer out! Look how she voted Wilwa for no reason!"

–This brings me to the other significant thing Mnemo did on Day One: she voted Wilwa because of a "crack theory" which she declined to explain at the time. No doubt she would have done so on Day Two had she survived the Night. This makes me think the kill-choice may point either to Wilwa, or to an attempt to frame her.

EDIT:word left out.
