Re: wrongfully accused of involuntary manslaughter

What matters (it would seem to me) more than the fact that you were accused of this serious crime is whether you were convicted of it. If the matter was nolle prossed(dismissed before trial)or you were in fact acquitted of this felony charge after a trial, the record of your arrest should be expungable per Va. Code Sec. 19.2-392.2 et seq.

Unfortunately, however, you have not made clear in your question what actually occurrred in regard to the case with which you were charged, and, therefore no meaningful answer nor recommendation can really be provided(in my opinion).
