    The claim states that Judge ordered three years of supervised release following prison. DOJ records confirm that Steven Goldstine was sentenced to five years in prison on December 15, 2025, for three federal felonies related to a racially motivated pipe bomb incident, with the judge specifically ordering three years of supervised release after completion of the prison term. The sentencing order also included electronic location monitoring for one year as part of the supervision. Evidence of progress shows the prison term has been imposed and a supervised-release plan was ordered by the court. The DOJ press release notes the three-year supervised-release requirement and the one-year electronic monitoring condition, indicating the structure of the post-prison supervision. As of the current date (February 13, 2026), Goldstine has not yet completed the three-year supervision, which would extend through December 15, 2028, if uninterrupted. The completion condition—three years of supervised release starting after imprisonment—remains in progress. The formal milestones include completion of the five-year sentence in federal custody, the commencement of supervised release, and the end date of December 15, 2028, absent any modifications or violations. No reports indicate early termination or cancellation of the supervised-release term. Overall, the claim aligns with the official sentencing order from the U.S. Department of Justice; the current status is that the three-year supervised release is underway and due to conclude in December 2028. The primary source confirming the specifics is the DOJ Office of Public Affairs press release dated December 15, 2025. For reliability, the source is a primary government document detailing the sentence and supervision conditions. Follow-up note: Monitor for any violations, modifications, or termination orders, with a scheduled review or status update around December 2027 to confirm trajectory toward completion.

    The claim states that the judge ordered three years of supervised release following prison for the Everett, Washington man who used a pipe bomb to blow up a Black couple’s car. The underlying incident occurred on December 31, 2024, and sentencing took place in U.S. District Court in Seattle in mid‑December 2025. The official U.S. Department of Justice Office of Public Affairs press release on January 14, 2026, describing the sentence for Steven Goldstine, explicitly notes that U.S. District Judge John H. Chun ordered Goldstine to serve three years of supervised release after completing his prison term, with one of those years under electronic location monitoring. This is a primary source summarizing the formal sentencing outcome. Independent local reporting from KING‑TV (KING 5, Seattle) on December 17, 2025, likewise states that, in addition to a five‑year federal prison term, the judge ordered three years of supervised release following Goldstine’s incarceration. This outlet cites federal prosecutors and is consistent with the DOJ account. FOX 13 Seattle’s December 15, 2025, report on the case, based on information from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Washington, also reports that Goldstine “faces three years of supervised release once he’s out of prison,” again matching the DOJ description of the sentence structure. Multiple independent reports therefore converge on the same supervised‑release term. There is no publicly reported indication through early 2026 that the supervised‑release component of the sentence was vacated, modified, or reversed on appeal. In the absence of evidence of a later change, the reasonable conclusion is that the sentencing order—including the three‑year supervised‑release term—stands as imposed. Given the direct confirmation from the DOJ and corroborating regional news coverage, the claim that the judge ordered three years of supervised release following prison is accurate and reflects a completed judicial action, not a future promise or proposal. The supervised‑release term is part of the final sentence aimed at continued monitoring, restrictions, and deterrence after Goldstine leaves federal custody. In impact terms, a three‑year supervised‑release term with one year of electronic monitoring provides extended federal oversight of Goldstine’s behavior once he reenters the community, with conditions that can include location tracking, weapon prohibitions, and compliance checks. This structure is intended to protect the victims and the broader community and to deter further racially motivated or violent conduct after the prison term ends.

    {"verdict":"complete","text":"Claim restatement and timeline: The claim asserts that the judge ordered three years of supervised release to follow the prison component of Steven Goldstine’s sentence. The Department of Justice press release announcing Goldstine’s sentence is dated December 15, 2025 and the sentencing occurred in U.S. District Court in Seattle under Judge John H. Chun.\nCase facts and charges: Goldstine, 55, pleaded guilty in September 2025 to three federal felonies — unlawful possession of a destructive device, unlawful possession of ammunition, and unlawful possession of a firearm — in connection with a Dec. 31, 2024 pipe-bomb explosion that destroyed a neighbor’s parked car and was followed by a voicemail to the victims containing racial slurs.\nSentencing details relevant to the claim: The DOJ press release states that Judge John H. Chun sentenced Goldstine to five years in prison and "ordered Goldstine to be on three years of supervised release following prison," with one of those years subject to electronic location monitoring. That specific supervised-release language appears in the official DOJ release and is repeated by local outlets covering the hearing.\nCorroboration from independent reporting: Local news outlets (KOMO News, Daily Herald/HeraldNet) reporting on the December 2025 sentencing repeat the DOJ’s sentencing terms, including the three-year supervised release and one year of electronic monitoring, providing independent confirmation of the judge’s order.\nImpact and measurable outcomes: The sentence combines five years imprisonment, three years supervised release, and one year of electronic monitoring — a concrete set of criminal-justice outcomes. Officials reported over 700 rounds of ammunition seized, no reported physical injuries from the explosion, and the case was prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, indicating federal prioritization of the matter.\nAssessment and significance: Because the sentencing order is documented in the official DOJ press release and corroborated by multiple reputable local news sources, the specific claim that the judge ordered three years of supervised release following prison is supported by primary evidence. The supervision and electronic monitoring conditions increase post-incarceration oversight and are intended to reduce risk to the community.\nLimitations and notes: Reporting consistently states the three-year supervised release and the one-year electronic monitoring term; I found no contradictory official documents or reporting that dispute that specific sentencing condition. If future changes occur (e.g., appellate, compassionate release, or supervised-release modifications), those would alter the status of the order.\nFinal determination: The claim is accurate and supported by primary and corroborating sources; the judge did order three years of supervised release following the prison term.","sources":["https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/everett-washington-man-who-used-pipe-bomb-blow-black-couples-car-sentenced-five-years-prison (DOJ press release, 2025-12-15): sentencing states three years of supervised release and one year of electronic monitoring","https://komonews.com/news/local/everett-man-sentenced-to-five-years-for-racially-motivated-pipe-bomb-attack (KOMO News, 2025-12-22): local reporting confirming five-year prison term and three years supervised release","https://www.heraldnet.com/news/everett-man-sentenced-to-5-years-after-pipe-bomb-explosion-of-a-neighbors-car/ (HeraldNet/Daily Herald, 2025-12-16): local coverage repeating supervised-release and monitoring conditions"],"follow_up_date":"2025-12-22"}
