Does a claim for malicious prosecution have accrued at the time of dismissal of the criminal action?

^12. Had Kevorkian alleged a claim for malicious prosecution, the claim would have accrued at the time of dismissal of the criminal action because the tort requires proof the criminal action was "pursued to a legal termination in favor of the malicious prosecution plaintiff." (Parrish v. Latham & Watkins (2017) 3 Cal.5th 767, 775.) Although the complaint alleges Kevorkian endured "seven long agonizing months going to [c]ourt and facing malicious prosecution," he does not allege a claim for malicious prosecution. Further, Kevorkian has not alleged defendants acted with malice, an element of a malicious prosecution claim. (Ibid.) Rather, he alleges only defendants' negligent investigation of the incident and referral to the district attorney's office.
