It wasn't anything specifically that he said so much as he spouted out three paragraphs to defend himself when a few random fingers pointed themselves at him. It made it look like he was extremely nervous, at least to me. If they get lynched, townies have the satisfaction of hearing everyone else groan as they realize their error; scum only get the feeling they've let down their team. That means they have a worse end if they get lynched, which would make not getting lynched more important, thus causing nervousness. That's how I've felt when I've played scum before, anyway.
Most importantly, in the opening phase of the game where no one has any hard evidence to throw around, what looked like a nervous defense in the midst of random lynches was suspicious enough to look interesting to me.
