“as quasi-criminal to satisfy the requirements of fundamental fairness and essential justice to the accused”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[t]he term `criminal proceedings' includes any proceeding in which the state of other government seeks to bring an offender to justice by prosecuting him for a common law or statutory offense and imposing upon him a penalty of a criminal character. The importance of the crime is not material except as it may affect the issue of damages that the accused is entitled to recover in an action for malicious prosecution. Thus, the term includes proceedings in which the individual is prosecuted for petty traffic offenses such as overtime parking, and may be subjected to a minor fine.”
