GUILTY WI - Sade Robinson, 19, Critical Missing, student at Milwaukee Area Tech College, car found burned near 30th & Lisbon, Milwaukee, 1 Apr 2024 *arrest*

[Muddy K]

Today, Maxwell Anderson was ordered by Judge Laura Crivello to pay $54,000 in restitution to the mother, father and sister of Sade Robinson and $37,000 to the Milwaukee Crime Victims' Compensation Fund. Anderson appeared via Zoom from an out-of state prison, just a couple of months into his life sentence.

Hard, seemingly cruel mathematics, I think, the work of putting a price on the priceless. I worked for a law firm once upon a time and still remember the skilled actuarials who would do that sad, necessary, impossible work.

Long, long haul for Anderson at 5 cents an hour, or whatever murderers earn today.

Anderson Back in Court

Somehow I don't think lil Maxie is going to be working this off, as I recall his parents have means so can't they just foot the bill? For them $91k wouldn't be a huge financial burden since didn't they buy him the home he lived in?

I am not speaking for families of the victims, but, imo, my thoughts are that it's not about the money for these families of victims. It is about the person being held accountable/being held responsible for the death of their loved one.

However, I am always glad when restitution due to a crime awarded to the victims'.

It's an opinion only

Yesterday CBS devoted their latest episode of 48 Hours to Sade Robinson. IMO, because of the inexhaustible and continual efforts of her mother, family, friends and community advocates, Sade's story will never be forgotten. Because of Sade, some old laws may change and new laws may come into being.

4 Hours - Sade Robinson

April 2nd, 2026, will be the two-year annivery of Sade's murder at the hands of Maxwell Anderson. The date will be commemorated, even as, all this time later, Sade's head has not yet been located. The only person who knows where it is is Anderson. He's serving LWOP and will remain in prison for the rest of his life, where, unlike Sade, he has air to breathe, food to eat, room to move, and time to pass.

Oddly, the Wisconsin DOJ and Department of Corrections will not disclose where Anderson is incarcerated, a decision I think privileges him in a way he absolutely does not deserve.

Thanks for the heads up. Will definitely make sure to watch this one.

It appears that after he was processed at Dodge (reception) he was transferred out of state. “POU unit” means Planning and Operations Unit, which tracks their prisoners serving state time out of state. I’m not sure which states WI has agreements with otherwise I would look for him there. Screenshot is from WI DOC Inmate Search.

Yes, I've done the Vinelink and DOC searches too. This mystery came up earlier this week, when Anderson, representing himself, appeared from an undisclosed location at a probate hearing of some kind, maybe linked to the court-ordered restitution he was ordered to pay to Sade's family and the Victims' Compensation Fund, among others.
