Dw would have no case against the DA. Possibly against those whose affidavits that were used to get the indictment. Anything said in court cannot be the basis for a libel/defamation action. However the republishing of statements made in court can be the basis for a defamation/libel action if it not a 'fair' reporting of the testimony. In this case, DW would have a tough time prevailing in such an action. This is why prosecutors rarely talk to the press about the accused, other than to simply state that so-andso has been charged and pretty much leave the rest for the courtroom.
