Maxwell Anderson Trial Begins Milwaukee First-Degree Murder Case

The trial of Maxwell Anderson, accused of killing and dismembering 19-year-old Sade Robinson after a first date, has commenced with jury selection and opening statements completed. A jury of 12 women and three men was seated efficiently from an initial pool of over 70 potential jurors. Prosecutors allege Anderson intentionally killed Robinson, dismembered her body, and attempted to cover up the crime, with evidence including the discovery of Robinson's severed leg in a park, her burned car, cell phone location data, and surveillance footage. The defense disputes the prosecution's case, pointing to gaps in evidence and arguing reasonable doubt exists. Key witnesses, including those who found Robinson's leg and law enforcement officers who responded to the scene, have testified. The trial continues as both sides present their cases, with the defense likely focusing on challenging the homicide charge while acknowledging the gravity of the evidence presented.
