The father in-law and the guy being chased away from the wedding are kind of hard to rule out of the equation. So, basically I'm just pissing in the wind on what I think may have happened while enjoying the show.

IMO the killer(s) got in through the unlocked back door. Remember when Stone visited the place a few days after the murder and let the cat back in? That door was unlocked.

It 'might' be the guy who stopped and was staring at Naz when he and the girl were walking up the steps into her place. She was obviously a wild child and I think her past plays into it. Maybe that dude partied at her place a time or two. Maybe he even fooled around with her and she got on his bad side- either emotionally or more likely due to a financial transaction gone bad.

Naz is a lightweight and after a few shots of tequila with some of the other shit she gave him, it put him down shortly after he nutted. The bad guys come back and pay her a visit, and it gets violent. She gets dead. After Naz wakes up, freaks out and decides to bolt after seeing her cut up body, where does he find the supposed murder weapon? Downstairs on the coffee table next to the tequila bottle and lime. The same place they left it after he jabbed her in the hand playing around. You stab someone 22 times, that knife is going to be bloody and so are you- at least your hands and some of your clothes. That knife had some blood on it- but not that much. Naz wasn't bloody when he woke up. Unless Naz brought a Patrick Bateman murder kit with him, he'd be bloody. He had scratches on his back at the Police station, but those were IMO love scratches.

Have they discussed autopsy results yet? Pretty important. Does the knife found on Naz conclusively match the cuts and wounds on her body? Was there any other DNA or physical evidence (fibers/hairs) besides Naz's found on her? How about an analysis of his clothes? Was her blood on him? His underwear? ...Twenty-two stab wounds and the sheets were covered in blood. He woke up at the kitchen table bone dry.

You may be on to something about Naz being set up. I thought maybe Freddie (the boxer) and the real killer were linked/communicating ("erase this guy because I fukt up and some physical evidence might lead to the cops to me...") But then why toy with Naz? Why not just arrange his death?...So I think that Freddie just might in some unintended way help Naz understand something about his situation. Naz will remember to tell Stone that there were two dudes he bumped into outside her place that night on the street. "Two? Who is the second guy?"

I wouldn't be surprised if Stone uncovers some evidence compelling enough to get Box to buy-in or at least show reasonable doubt.

A lot of clues in the opening credits...I'm rambling. Three espresso shots.
