There's no way that the prosecution in this case would go after the Guardian at this point in time. Remember, the whole playbook here is to target the weakest possible link, i.e. an individual not associated to a traditional publisher, who is being attacked personally (i.e., casting doubts on his mental health after ensuring that he was forced for years to live under circumstances that would erode anybody's mental health). They are doing this against a chosen target because they hope to establish precedent which can then later on be used against more difficult targets.
