How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • upholding dismissal of malicious prosecution claim because no evidence in record indicating that defendant knowingly included false facts in his incident report without which the prosecutor could not have concluded there was probable cause
  • discussing “the defense of advice of counsel” and explaining that this defense was not “an attack on the ‘lack of probable cause’ prong” but was “based upon the idea that defendant has not in fact instituted the prosecution”
  • “[I]t would place too much of a burden upon investigating police officers to require that they include all possibly mitigating items in their police reports in order to avoid potential liability.”
