Criminal prosecution is instituted by the Dist. Atty. or similar person in position (states label this title as state attorney, solicitor, etc.), or any deputy state attorney. When a person has been arrested for crime, criminal action is commenced. The law enforcement agency will review the evidence and present it to the prosecuting attorney, who decides what charges he will file against the defendant.
In this case it means to start a court action such as a law suit.
Eviction is not a criminal action it is a civil action.
Legal action is permitted, criminal action is not.
In criminal court.
The State brings an action against a defendant.
There is no such thing as mixing civil and criminal actions in the same court action. If criminal charges arise as a result of a civil case action they will be charged and prosecuted seperately from the civil trial.
The State
The charged party disputes the criminal action by pleading "not guilty" to the charges. The prosecution bears the burden of proving that the charged party is guilty of a criminal offense. The charged party is not required to "prove" innocence.
