A beachfront property belonging to a South Carolina judge has burned to the ground in a huge fire that sent three members of her family to hospital, including her former state senator husband.
Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein, 69, was out walking her dogs when the blaze erupted at the luxury Jeremy Cay gated community at approximately 11.30am Saturday morning at Edisto Beach.
Her husband, Arnold Goodstein, 81, and other members of the family had to escape via its upper stories as the fire took hold. They were subsequently rescued from the boggy marshland in which they had sought refuge by emergency services personnel in kayaks.

I’m told there were injuries from the fall, such as broken legs.
“Arnie’s injuries may have been the most serious, for he was airlifted to the hospital.”

Judge Goodstein had reportedly received multiple death threats in response to her September 2 ruling, which placed her at odds with Trump and South Carolina’s Republican Gov. Henry McMaster, who said the circuit court was “wrong” to place itself in the way of the U.S. government
