What about a writ of prohibition?

I think the defense would have difficulty prevailing on a writ of prohibition because they would have to show a clear abuse of discretion, which is a difficult standard to meet.

Since there is no evidence implicating the accused, I think there is a legal basis for a writ of prohibition; but it would not be politically expedient.
