Laskar v. Hurd
Dismissal of a prosecution as untimely satisfies the favorable termination element of malicious prosecution claim under Fourth Amendment: “After considering both the common law and Fourth Amendment, we hold that the favorable-termination element of malicious prosecution is not limited to terminations that affirmatively support the plaintiff’s innocence. Instead, the favorable-termination element requires only that the criminal proceedings against the plaintiff formally end in a manner not inconsistent with his innocence on at least one charge that authorized his confinement.
