Police Launch Probe After SC Judge’s Mansion Burns to Ground

Local resident, Robby Borden, managed to capture the huge fire from his drone.

Smoke was seen billowing from the structure on the video, as the fire roared throughout all three stories of the home.

Goodstein had reportedly been receiving death threats in the past few weeks, sources told FITSNews.

Just last month, she was involved in a controversial case in determining if voter's personal information in South Carolina could be handed over to the government.

Goodstein issued a temporary restraining order in early September, stemming from a lawsuit challenging whether the South Carolina Election Commission can give voters’ data to the Department of Justice, The Gazette reported.

However, the order was later overturned after a six-page opinion from the Supreme Court took issue with Goodstein's process in barring the state from complying.

Goodstein was criticized by the Supreme Court's order, signed by all five justices, for failing to detail what kind of damage would be caused in the release of the personal information of voters.

Specifically, the information of Calhoun County voter Anne Crook, who filed the suit to fight the release of her information to the federal government.

Goodstein was also said to have failed to explain whether she believed the lawsuit was likely to succeed, which is required for a court to intervene, the order obtained by the Gazette said.

The circuit court judge also told the Election Commission not to comply with the request for voter information before they had received notice of the lawsuit, which the court said was a violation.
