Bugged me all the way through.....spoiler.

Such a ferocious attack, 22 vicious wounds. Blood spattered all up the wall, the lamp shade, the bed.

Nasir is picked up shortly after. Surely he'd be covered in her blood. Or the bathroom would have considerable traces of her blood in the bath/ drains etc where he presumably must have cleaned himself up.

Why did his defence not use this? why did the police not wonder it?

Why was the knife being handled in court outside of a plastic bag. Surely this contaminates the suspected murder weapon should the jury find him innocent and a new suspect sought?

These things bugged me throughout what was a decent show.

Yeah, that was a major oversight. He was way, way to clean to have butchered a woman to death. A little blood on the hand was it?

They could have argued that he was naked when he did it, then showered and washed his hair, then left. However, as you state, there would probably be traces in the bathroom. Also, if he was smart enough to have washed up, why wouldn't he have cleaned the knife, much less taken it with him?

Just watched 8 episodes over the past two days.

Why wasn't Nas, the "killer" covered in blood?

It really bothered me the whole time that it was never brought up.

Exactly agree. Dont know why no lawyers or detectives asked this question. seems the show never brought this up. During the trial you would think his lawyers would bring this up but didnt. very strange.
