When a judge who was already receiving death threats had her home go up in flames a day after a Stephen Miller tweet targeted judges, there were understandable suspicions of foul play.

South Carolina law enforcement officials say as of Monday there\u2019s no evidence that someone intentionally set the home of a state court judge on fire.
\u2026
Mark Keel, chief of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED), said in a Monday statement that agents \u201chave preliminarily found there is no evidence to support a pre-fire explosion.\u201d He said the investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That is great to hear \u2014 it isn\u2019t like people should want<\/em> there to be proof of foul play \u2014 but it will still be important to keep an eye out for anything that doesn\u2019t look right. The investigation is still under way; findings may change the department\u2019s stance on what happened. As important as it is to be thorough, if the division finds out that the likely culprit was probably a faulty outlet or an unattended cigarette, the sooner the public knows the better. <\/p>\n

Even without knowing the ultimate cause, having your house go up in flames is a jarring thing to live through. Wishing the best to Judge Goodstein and her family as they wait for more information on what happened. <\/p>\n
