Spoiler:

This is not proven at all. The game itself points that out quite often and this aspect is also one of the main themes in EP5. Due to certain evidences and reasonings all characters except Natsuhi receive an alibi and she also gets a motive for the crime imposed upon herself which doesn't make this theory the absolute truth but as long as there is no other proven evidence and therefore truth that can wipe out the possibility of Natsuhi being the culprit the latter accusation remains as truth in the meta-world of this game. Since everyone believes that Natsuhi is the culprit because this is the most obvious possibility this is declared as truth but Battler doesn't want a truth like this that just imposes the role of the culprit on someone. He wants the absolute truth and not just some satisfying way out so he still believes in Natsuhi's innocence.

I know that you put a question mark there but I just wanted to point this out.
