A Milwaukee man who killed a 19-year-old college student on their first date and spread her body parts around the area was sentenced Friday to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
A jury convicted Maxwell Anderson in June of first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, arson and hiding a corpse in connection with Sade Robinson’s death last year. He maintained his innocence throughout the trial.
During a sentencing hearing that was by turns somber, emotional and horrifying, Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Laura Crivello repeatedly questioned how Anderson could commit such a heinous crime. Prosecutors related details of how Anderson cut up Robinson’s body and dumped one of her legs near a playground.
Robinson’s mother, Sheena Scarbrough, said Anderson “messed the entire community up” and deserves no protection in prison.
“Judge, I’m asking this demon be respectfully returned back to hell as soon as possible,” Scarbrough said.
