Seven years have passed since DNA evidence led to William Virgil's release from prison. A lot can change in seven years — and yet, so much can stay maddeningly stagnant at the same time. We examine what one of life's inevitable developments will mean for the civil lawsuit Virgil had filed alleging he'd been wrongfully convicted in the murder of Retha Welch.Credits from the script: Accused is written by me, Amber Hunt, produced by Amanda Rossmann, edited by Amy Wilson and engineered by Phil Didion.
