Quick Read Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed. A 34-year-old man has been found guilty of murdering and dismembering a 19-year-old woman. The victim, Sade Carleena Robinson, went missing after a dinner date with Maxwell Anderson in April 2024. Anderson's phone contained graphic photos linked to the crime, including evidence of dismemberment. A 34-year-old man in the US has been found guilty of killing and dismembering the body of a 19-year-old girl on their first date after the two watched an episode of a Netflix series with an eerily similar theme. According to the New York Post, Maxwell Anderson killed Sade Carleena Robinson in April 2024 after the two met for dinner. They went to a restaurant and a bar before Anderson invited her to his home in Milwaukee. This was the last time Robinson, a criminal justice student at Milwaukee Area Technical College, was seen alive. The 19-year-old was reported missing the next day, when she didn't show up for her shift at a pizzeria. The police checked her home and found no trace of her. Then, on the same day, cops found her sawed-off leg on the shores of Lake Michigan, as per the outlet. They also found additional body parts, including a foot and human flesh, scattered throughout the city. Prosecutors showed bloodied photos from Anderson's phone to prove he was the teen's killer. One deleted picture recovered by investigators captured Anderson holding Robinson's chopped-off right breast. The jury was told that Anderson committed the heinous crime after he watched a Netflix animated series named 'Love, Death & Robots' with Robinson. One of the episodes in the series showed a dismembered corpse, which was discovered on the beach, similar to Robinson's body. Cops also found a "sex dungeon" in Anderson's home after his arrest. In his basement, he had a "sex sling, restraints and handcuffs," police said. Other photos on Anderson's phone included pictures of the 19-year-old inside his home. The jury described the pictures as graphic and disturbing. "That was pretty damning evidence that shook everyone. I physically felt like I was gonna throw up at that point. I know a lot of people were shaking and crying," juror Melissa Blascoe said. Anderson is believed to have planned Robinson's killing for months, creating a space covered in a plastic tarp, the Post reported. After committing the brutal killing, he drove Robinson's car around Milwaukee for some time before parking it in North Milwaukee and setting it on fire. The 15-member jury took 45 minutes to reach a guilty verdict. Anderson was ultimately found guilty of first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, hiding a corpse and arson. No motive for the killing was revealed during the trial. The 34-year-old now faces a mandatory life sentence, but Judge Laura Crivello could sentence him to additional extended supervision.

Maxwell Anderson Watched Netflix Series on Dismemberment Before Killing, Dismembering Sade Robinson on Their First Date
Maxwell Anderson, 34, was convicted by a jury on Friday, June 6, of killing, dismembering 19-year-old Sade Robinson on the night of their first date. The jury announced the verdict after taking less than an hour to arrive at the decision to convict Anderson of first-degree intentional homicide or first-degree reckless homicide. Anderson was also found guilty on charges of intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, hiding a corpse and arson. Anderson Watched 'Love, Death & Robots' on Netflix with Robinson Blascoe, a 33-year-old social worker, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal that it was revealed in a post-trial meeting with the prosecution that on the night of Robinson's murder, Anderson turned on the Netflix series "Love, Death & Robots" with Robinson inside the home. During the final episode of volume two of the animated series, a corpse is dismembered on a beach. The prosecution believes Anderson dismembered Robinson on a small beach at Warnimont Park in Cudahy. "I was like, oh, ... that's disgusting because that could have been where he got some of his ideas or fantasies," Blascoe told the outlet. Anderson Disposed Off Robinson's Dismembered Remains Around Milwaukee County Investigators believe Anderson killed her on their first date on April 1, 2024, dismembered her body and spread her remains around Milwaukee County. Robinson was last seen alive at Anderson's home. Her arm was found at a Waukegan beach. The jury was shown disturbing and graphic images of Robinson inside Anderson's home that were later deleted from his phone. Among the images was a graphic photo of Anderson holding Robinson's right breast as she lay incapacitated. Robinson's right breast is among her body parts that haven't been recovered. They were also shown grainy or darkened footage that showed Anderson driving Robinson's car before torching it outside an abandoned home on the city's north side. Anderson had planned to kill Robinson weeks before her death, according to a statement from a "confidential informant" noted in court filings FOX6 News obtained. A search warrant also revealed prosecutors believe Anderson tried to cover up Robinson's death with a text message. Anderson faces a mandatory life sentence in prison when he's sentenced Aug. 15.

The 7 Best New Shows on Netflix in May
In a rare feat for a streamer as beloved for its onslaught of acquisitions as its original productions, the best new shows on Netflix's May release calendar are all exclusive to the service. While I balk at calling Conan O'Brien's Mark Twain Prize ceremony a full-on Netflix original, the most powerful streaming service in the world was smart enough to snag the rights — and schedule the premiere during yet another period of peak appreciation for our favorite late-night Irishman — so they deserve ample credit. Plus, it's the only entry of the lot that's not an established Netflix franchise or an anticipated Netflix original. May will welcome new seasons of 'Love, Death & Robots' (including an episode directed by executive producer David Fincher, featuring the Red Hot Chili Peppers), 'Untold' (the sports documentary series that's proving to be a worthy addition to any '30 for 30' fan's queue), and the final season of 'Big Mouth.' (A well-reviewed Netflix original series that spans eight seasons plus a spinoff? Now that's the kind of TV worth getting behind!) More from IndieWire 'Squid Game 3' Teaser: The Only Way Out Is Through Netflix Rolls Out the Red Carpet for Emmy Voters with Two-Week FYSEE LA Festival Across Los Angeles 'The Four Seasons' Review: Tina Fey and Steve Carell's Netflix Show Is Pleasant but Perfunctory In addition, Netflix subscribers can check out new shows including 'Forever,' a modern adaptation of Judy Blume's 1975 novel (featuring two incredible breakthrough performances, one of whom — Lovie Simone — has already earned a nomination from the Gotham Awards); 'Sirens,' a limited series led by Julianne Moore and Meghann Fahy from the creator of 'Maid' (Molly Smith Metzler) and the lead director of 'Watchmen' (Nicole Kassell); and another adaptation, this one of Alan Alda's feature directorial debut, 'The Four Seasons,' from co-creator and star Tina Fey. (The cast just happens to include Steve Carell, Colman Domingo, and Will Forte, too! TV stars, unite!) It's not quite right to say Netflix is back — reviews of 'The Four Seasons' aren't as enthusiastic as Fey's past comedy creations, and, despite a slight dip in quality content over the last few months, Netflix never really went anywhere. But it's reassuring to see the streamer put creator-driven stories at the forefront of their summer season. After all, with audiences (hopefully) rushing back to theaters for blockbusters like 'Thunderbolts*' (Marvel's latest attempt to resurrect its fading brand), 'Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning' (Tom Cruise's last attempt to defy death for our entertainment? surely not), and Tim Robinson's A24 comedy 'Friendship' (get hyped), whatever's available at home needs to offer something different; something TV does best; something personal, something powerful, something you can live with for longer than a couple hours.
