Wheaton-Cain v. Radio Shack
Brandi Wheaton Cain sued Radio Shack Corporation for false imprisonment and malicious prosecution after she was arrested, charged with theft, and the charges later dismissed. The trial court granted Radio Shacks special motion to strike the complaint as a strategic lawsuit against public participation, i.e., SLAPP suit (Code Civ. Proc., 425.16). On appeal, Wheaton Cain contends: (1) her complaint was not subject to an anti SLAPP motion; and (2) she demonstrated a probability of prevailing. Court disagree and affirm the judgment.
