Because Light never saw Mello's face and so he couldn't kill him. Only Soichiro who saw Mello's name and face could.
When Light kills those that aren't criminals (for instance, the police and FBI hunting him down as opposed to the "criminal victims of Kira"), why does he choose heart attacks as the cause of death? He knows that the police know that Kira is responsible for sudden heart attack deaths of criminals. If FBI agents and investigators are chasing Light, won't sudden heart attack deaths make Light more of a suspect to be Kira? I get that Light might not want to go through the trouble of thinking of different ways for people to die, but in order to ensure not being caught, shouldn't he have killed off the FBI in a manner that wouldn't be linked to the Kira case? If he had done that then maybe L wouldn't have suspected him so much.
I'm probably missing something really, really obvious, but when Soichiro sees Mello face-to-face with the Shinigami eyes and views his name, he says it out loud, and everyone who's listening in/viewing repeats it as if they've heard it too. "Mihael Keehl". So, the question is, why was Light so desperate for Soichiro to write Mello's name in the Death Note before dying if they all knew it and could have written it themselves?
Spelling?
