Trial of Maxwell Anderson Delayed to May 2025

The trial of Maxwell Anderson, charged with the murder and dismemberment of Sade Robinson, has been delayed from December 9, 2024, to May 27, 2025. The defense requested the postponement to allow a forensic expert to complete an analysis of Anderson's phone, which may contain exonerating evidence. The expert's report is expected to show Anderson using the internet at home during the time Robinson's car was allegedly being driven by another person. This request was granted despite the state's readiness for trial and their objection to the defense's full forensic data request, which exceeded the search warrant's scope. Judge Laura Crivello acknowledged the complexity of the discovery process in her decision to grant the adjournment. A scheduling conference is set for February 10, 2025, to finalize preparations for the new trial date.
