Maxwell Anderson, the man accused of the brutal killing and dismemberment of 19-year-old Sade Robinson, is set to appear in court once again on Monday. The preliminary hearing for Anderson is scheduled for April 22 at 1:30 p.m. at room 146 of the Milwaukee County Courthouse Criminal Justice Facility.
During the hearing, Milwaukee County Assistant District Attorney Ian Vance-Curzan, a member of the office’s homicide unit, will be tasked with presenting probable cause that a felony has been committed by Anderson. The defense attorney, Anthony Cotton, will have the opportunity to cross-examine any witnesses provided by the state.
The decision on whether there is enough evidence for Anderson to stand trial will ultimately lie with Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Jean Kies. If the judge agrees with the prosecution and deems that Anderson should indeed face trial, the case will proceed to arraignment, where Anderson will make his plea.
Anderson, aged 33, and Robinson had gone on a first date on April 1, according to prosecutors. Following their night out, Robinson returned to Anderson’s home. The following day, a severed human leg belonging to Robinson was discovered at Warnimont Park in Cudahy, which garnered significant media attention as more human remains were found in Milwaukee in the subsequent days.
The prosecution has been building its case against Anderson using surveillance footage, witness statements, and phone tracking records. Both the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office and Milwaukee Police Department have confirmed that the investigation and search for additional body parts are ongoing.
A week after his arrest, Anderson was charged with first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, and arson. These charges carry severe penalties, including the possibility of a life sentence.
Sade Robinson, the victim in this tragic case, was on the brink of graduating with an associate degree in criminal justice from Milwaukee Area Technical College. She was also about to turn 20 years old. Robinson was known for her work at Pizza Shuttle on Milwaukee’s east side, where she was beloved by both colleagues and customers.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the local community, highlighting the importance of ensuring justice is served in cases of such heinous crimes. The upcoming court hearing will be a crucial step in the legal process as the case against Maxwell Anderson continues to unfold..
