Rivera-Guadalupe v. City of Harrisburg

Submitted by Re'Neisha Stevenson on Fri, 02/21/2025 - 11:01

In malicious prosecution claim, right to be prosecuted only for charges that were each supported by probable cause was not clearly established at time of plaintiff’s arrest, which was prior to Chiaverini v. City of Napoleon, Ohio, 602 U.S. 556 (2024), where Court held that the presence of probable cause for one charge in a criminal proceeding does not categorically defeat a Fourth Amendment malicious prosecution claim relating to another baseless charge; if an invalid charge causes a detention to start or continue, the Fourth Amendment is violated although Court left open the question how to determine if the baseless charge caused the requisite seizure.
