The charity set up to fight for justice in Becky Middleton's name has folded due to a lack of donations sparking criticism that Bermuda's wealthy community did not help enough.
Dr. Carol Shuman, who set up the Rebecca Middleton Foundation, claimed the fact that some wrongly view the miscarriage of justice as a political issue damaged efforts to right the wrong.The foundation decided last September that it could not carry on funding court appeals in the case, and its charitable status expires next month. Becky's father Dave and family supporter Rick Meens initially opted to carry on attempting to get the case re-opened against suspects Kirk Mundy and Justis Smith via legal action even after the Chief Justice rejected their first bid in April 2007.
