The supporters of Paanchi must have been smart enough to recognize that even with Pahoran dead the Nephites wouldn’t be likely to choose Paanchi add their chief judge. Having been convicted they would almost certainly have chosen Pacumeni first. They must have anticipated that they would need to murder at least one more chef judge after Pahoran before Paanchi was even considered. In fact, they may have had little hope at all of him ever becoming chief judge by the voice of the people.
I don’t think that we have secret combinations on a comparable scale to what destroyed the Nephites but I feel confident that we will at some point.
I just realized that despite their comparative size the book of Helaman covers more history than the book of Alma.
