Judge’s $1.5M beach home burns to the ground weeks after ruling against Trump

A house fire is a nightmare for anyone, but this time the victim is far from ordinary.

On Saturday, the home of a South Carolina judge was destroyed after it went up in flames.

This happened just weeks after she ruled against Donald Trump’s Department of Justice.

This past weekend, tragedy struck in Edisto Beach, South Carolina, when Judge Diane Goodstein’s $1.5 million home was burned to the ground.

St. Paul’s Fire District responded to the scene on October 4, reporting that the first crews on site “worked flawlessly together to ensure the safety of the occupants which escaped via jumping from an elevated first floor.”

Clips shared on social media captured massive flames tearing through the oceanfront home, with thick smoke billowing high into the sky.

Due to the home’s remote location and tricky layout, rescuers had to evacuate the family from the backyard using kayaks, bringing them to Colleton County EMS for medical care.
Three people were hospitalized, including Judge Goodstein’s husband, Arnold ‘Arnie’ Goodstein, a former Democratic state senator.

According to South Carolina Chief Justice John Kittredge, Arnie “was in the house with children and perhaps grandchildren. The family had to escape by jumping from a window or balcony. I’m told there were injuries from the fall, such as broken legs.”
