Milwaukee Man Faces Trial for Killing and Mutilating First Date as Evidence from Sade Robinson’s Phone Proves Crucial

Maxwell Anderson, the man charged with the horrific murder of Sade Robinson on their first date, was on the verge of a turning point in his court case on Friday. According to WISN, Anderson, who is charged with first-degree intentional killing, mutilating a corpse, and arson, looked composed in an orange jumpsuit at his last court appearance before his trial, which is scheduled to start in December. Important trial preparations, such as jury instruction and the evaluation of expert witness testimony, were covered at the pre-trial session.

The victim’s encrypted cellphone, which may contain important information, has been a major obstacle for Anderson’s legal defense team, lead by attorney Anthony Cotton. Despite the warrant being obtained in September, the item was only unencrypted this month. In a statement obtained by JSONLINE, Cotton disclosed the phone’s existence and his team’s inability to access it, illustrating the complexity of the case and the intersection of modern concerns about digital privacy and law enforcement. Despite defense expectations, Cotton stated that Anderson had no alibi because he was at home.

After being last spotted with Anderson on April 1 at several Milwaukee locations, such as Dukes on Water and the Twisted Fisherman restaurant, Robinson’s terrible fate came to pass. Video shows the two of them hanging out at a restaurant and bar in the Menomonee Valley prior to her dismemberment and the subsequent finding of body parts in several places. By fusing the agonizing loss for a family with the usual courtroom drama, the trial obscures the heinousness of the murder and captures the sense of collective mourning and the desire for justice that reverberates throughout Milwaukee’s legal system.The sight of Anderson and Robinson on the restaurant’s CCTV footage during their date night was covered by FOX6 NOW.

Both the defense and the prosecution are getting ready for the trial, which is scheduled for Monday, December 9. While the defense is questioning digital access and encryption, prosecutors are looking into potential alternate suspects. As the legal teams get ready to make their case before a jury, the procedures represent another stage in the case.
