A fire ravaged the South Carolina home of Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein on Sunday, forcing three occupants, including her husband and son, to jump from the burning structure. Rescued by kayak from the marshy backyard, the individuals were hospitalized. The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is investigating the cause of the blaze. The incident follows Judge Goodstein's recent controversial decision, later reversed, to block the release of voter files to the Department of Justice.
