The family of a 19-year-old Wisconsin woman who was murdered and dismembered by a man during their first date denounced him as the “devil” at his sentencing hearing before the judge announced his fate.

Maxwell Anderson, 34, received a life sentence on Friday without the chance of parole for the April 2024 murder of Sade C. Robinson in Milwaukee. Her family expressed intense disdain for her murderer.

“Judge, I”m asking this demon be respectfully returned back to hell as soon as possible,” Robinson’s mother Sheena Scarbrough said.

Scarbrough started out her statement by looking directly at Anderson and unleashing a string of expletives.

“My daughter referred to you as a man,” she said. “You will never be a f—ing man. You’re a p— a— b—.”

At that point, the judge requested she direct her comments at her.

Scarbrough described the trial as “freaking torture,” stating Anderson “knew” of his guilt but proceeded nonetheless. She also referred to Anderson’s parents as his “negligent mammy and pappy.”

“I’ll deal with them later,” she remarked.

She said Anderson “f—ed with the wrong family.”

“You will be eternally haunted,” she said. “I know you cannot sleep at night. You will never get peace. You will never sleep.”

Scarbrough called her daughter a “hero” who helped feed the homeless and worked two jobs.

Robinson’s father, Carlos Robinson, said he wishes Anderson would meet the same fate as his daughter.

“Everything he did should be done to him,” he declared. “No man should continue to live after committing such an act. That’s my belief. I cannot move past this. I simply can’t.”

Despite the overwhelming evidence against him, Anderson claimed innocence.

“I did not commit these crimes,” Anderson insisted, mentioning that he intends to appeal. “I hope that further investigations not only prove my innocence but also uncover true justice.”

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Laura Crivello chided Anderson for his lack of remorse.

“I don’t think that you have gotten to the point of taking any form of responsibility for what transpired,” she said.

Anderson was convicted in June of first-degree intentional homicide, mutilation of a corpse and arson of property.

A decisive factor in the quick verdict, as one juror explained to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, was the existence of shocking and graphic photos that Anderson had taken on his phone. Although he later deleted these images, investigators were able to recover them. One photo depicted Anderson holding Robinson’s right breast while she appeared either unconscious or dead on his basement floor.

Various body parts washed ashore on Lake Michigan to horrified beachgoers in the days after her disappearance, but cops never recovered Robinson’s torso.

“This is his trophy in a way,” juror Melissa Blascoe told the Journal Sentinel. “Those pictures will be in my mind for quite some time.”

Other photos showed Robinson’s bare backside with underwear and pants that the victim was wearing on the night in question. The photo definitively showed that Robinson was in Anderson’s basement.

“That was pretty damning evidence that shook everyone,” she told the newspaper. “I physically felt like I was gonna throw up at that point. I know a lot of people were shaking and crying.”

Testimony also revealed Anderson watched the Netflix animated series “Love, Death and Robots.” After the trial, prosecutors told jurors about the second season finale where a corpse is dismembered on a beach.

“I was like, oh, that’s disgusting because that could have been where he got some of his ideas or fantasies,” Blascoe told the Journal Sentinel.

Robinson’s family reported her missing after she disappeared following her date. Her mother said she plans on keeping her daughter’s voice alive by being an advocate for missing persons.

“She will forever be remembered as an angel,” Scarbrough told reporters following the verdict.

Prosecutors proved at trial that Anderson spent months prepping his basement by covering it from ceiling to floor with painter’s tarp. There was also a sanitation sink and three saws.

As Law&Crime previously reported, the investigation began April 2, 2024, when someone found a human leg in the water at Warnimont Park in Cudahy, just south of Milwaukee. A joint investigation between the Milwaukee County sheriff’s office and Milwaukee police had determined that Robinson’s family reported her missing the day before, when she failed to show up for work.

According to a criminal complaint, Anderson and Robinson met for the first time on April 1, 2024, to go on a date. Detectives reportedly obtained text messages of the two planning their date earlier that day. Surveillance video also shows them at a downtown Milwaukee restaurant and bar before leaving and driving in Robinson’s Honda Civic to Anderson’s home around 9:30 p.m., the complaint said.

An app on Robinson’s phone shows it left Anderson’s home shortly after midnight on April 2 and later traveled to Warnimont Park, where the victim’s leg was later found, the affidavit said. Surveillance video from the park shows a Honda Civic ramming through a gate at around 3 a.m. and someone is seen going down to the water several times before leaving around 4:30 a.m.

Around 7:30 a.m. the Milwaukee Fire Department responded to the 1800 block of 29th Street for a vehicle fire. Investigators later determined it was Robinson’s Honda. Cops recovered surveillance video from a bus that shows Anderson getting on the bus near where the vehicle was torched and riding to a stop near his home, according to the affidavit.

On April 6, 2024, Milwaukee police found a foot and human flesh not far from the burned-out Honda, investigators said. The foot and the leg were confirmed to belong to Robinson.

A search of Anderson’s home found blood in a bedroom and on the walls leading to the basement, authorities said. In the basement, investigators found a “sex dungeon,” WISN reported, citing anonymous law enforcement sources. Authorities have continued to recover body parts in the ensuing months.

“Our hearts are with the family and loved ones of Sade Robinson,” Milwaukee police Chief Jeffrey Norman said in a statement. “This is a horrendous tragedy and above all else, I cannot imagine the pain you must be going through. I would like to express my deepest and most sincere sympathy.”

Robinson was close to earning an associate degree in criminal justice at Milwaukee Area Technical College and also considered joining the U.S. Air Force. Her mother told reporters after Anderson’s arrest that her daughter’s alleged killer is a “sick son of a b—.”

“Who the f— would do something like this to my beautiful baby?” she said, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “She hurt nobody. She harmed nobody.”
