Over the weekend, South Carolina Judge Diane Goodstein’s residence was destroyed in a fire following an explosion, injuring three family members who were hospitalized. Initial speculation by some political groups suggested intentional sabotage, but authorities have confirmed there is no evidence to support claims of arson.
The South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) stated, “At this time, there is no evidence to indicate the fire was intentionally set. SLED Agents have preliminarily found there is no evidence to support a pre-fire explosion.” The investigation remains ongoing, with officials promising further updates after its conclusion.
Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman of New York initially accused prominent conservative figures, including Stephen Miller, of inciting violence against Judge Goodstein. However, SLED’s statement clarified that no conclusive evidence of malicious intent has been found.
While the exact cause of the fire remains undetermined, some speculate it may have resulted from a gas leak. No additional details have been released at this time.
