One possibility that I haven't seen mentioned yet (although we
tend to get things late here) but which has been done before
is that the murderer may have been so traumatized by their own
action that they have "temporary amnesia" and don't remember
having done it.  This would allow it to be one of the main
characters who would, in their normal state of mind, not
let someone else take the rap.  If it is a "regular" (like
Nine, Palmer, Sloane, etc.) they can get out of shipping him/her
off to prison by developing a "self defense" line.  When the
character recovers their memory, they'll remember that Zach
tried to attack them, or something of the sort.  If this were
done, the usual plot maneuver is to have full memory restored
only after someone else has been convicted and sent to prison.
