Justice Delivered in Milwaukee Courtroom After Gruesome Maxwell Anderson Trial
Milwaukee, WI — June 6, 2025 — In a significant step toward justice, a Milwaukee jury has found Maxwell Anderson guilty on all charges connected to the brutal 2024 murder of 19-year-old Sade Robinson. He was convicted of first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, hiding a corpse, and arson.
The verdict was delivered swiftly on the ninth day of the trial, with jurors deliberating for less than an hour. Following the announcement, the judge ordered a pre-sentence investigation and scheduled sentencing for August 15 at 10 a.m..
A Grieving Family Holds Firm in Court
After the verdict, Robinson’s family — present for all nine days of the trial — gathered outside the courtroom, hugging each other as they processed the emotional conclusion. Her mother, Sheena Scarbrough, stood alongside an attorney and relatives as she addressed reporters.
“Sade was light and love. We’re heartbroken, but grateful the truth was seen,” she said.
The family endured hours of graphic and painful testimony detailing the events surrounding Sade’s death but remained resolute in their pursuit of justice.
Swift Deliberation Follows Two Weeks of Testimony
Both the prosecution and defense rested their cases on Thursday, with the defense choosing not to present any witnesses or have Anderson testify. A motion to dismiss all charges was denied by the judge.
Deliberations began late Thursday and continued Friday morning, leading to a fast yet firm verdict. Attorney Cotton, representing Anderson, remarked:
- “They had two full weeks of information. The jury took it seriously and reached their conclusion based on evidence.”
Despite the defense’s position, the jury’s decision confirmed Anderson’s responsibility for the killing.
