Description

This malicious prosecution action arises out of the arrest and prosecution of a convenience store cashier on embezzlement charges ultimately "no-billed" by the grand jury. The core of this appeal is the cashiers employers argument that she failed to prove want of probable cause for the embezzlement charge and malice in its bringing. A jury resolved these issues in the cashiers favor, returning a $9,600.00 verdict. For the reasons detailed below, we affirm on direct appeal.
