"A massive house fire ravaged the Edisto Beach home of South Carolina Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein on Saturday, leaving her husband and three others hospitalized. The blaze, captured on video by eyewitnesses, comes as Judge Goodstein had been receiving death threats in the weeks leading up to the fire.
According to multiple sources, Judge Goodstein had been targeted by the threats, which began after she temporarily blocked the state's election commission from releasing its voter files to the Department of Justice, a decision that was openly criticized by the Trump administration.
'I had multiple death threats over the years,' a source close to Judge Goodstein revealed. 'She's had a lot of stress and anxiety lately.' The fire, which was reportedly caused by an 'explosion,' has sparked widespread concern for the judge's safety, with authorities scrambling to determine its cause.
As the investigation continues, Judge Goodstein has spoken out about the incident, telling a neighbor that she was 'alright' in her first comments since the fire. The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) has taken over the investigation, with officials on the scene and extra patrols and security measures in place.
The incident has reignited debates about the safety and security of judges who rule against the Trump administration, with many calling for increased protection for those who face hostile online conversations and threats. As the investigation unfolds, one thing is clear: the fire that destroyed Judge Diane Goodstein's home has left a lasting impact on the community and the world of law.",
