Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Malicious prosecution refers to the act of wrongfully or maliciously instituting a criminal or civil case. If Thomas was exonerated, it means that there was no basis for Jessica's lawsuit and it may be considered frivolous. Therefore, Thomas may have grounds to sue Jessica for the malicious prosecution.
