Mom of woman, 19, murdered on first date issues jaw-dropping courtroom threat to arrogant killer as he's jailed for life
The heartbroken mother of a 19-year-old woman who was murdered on a first date told her daughter's killer during his sentencing that she will haunt him for eternity. 'You and your family will be held fully responsible for the rest of your lives,' Sheena Scarborough told Maxwell Anderson on Friday as he was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Sade Robinson. 'You will be eternally haunted by myself, my ancestors... I know you can't sleep at night, they have already been at you.' Anderson, 34, was convicted in June of killing and dismembering college student Robinson during their first date last year in Milwaukee. Prosecutors said he cut up Robinson's body and dumped one of her legs near a playground. Parts of her body, including her head, were never found. 'Judge, I'm asking this demon be respectfully returned back to hell as soon as possible,' Scarborough added. Robinson's father, Carlos Robinson, suggested to the judge that someone dismember Anderson. 'Everything that he did should be done to him,' he said. 'No man should be able to live after what he did. That's just how I feel. I can't get past this. I can't.' Anderson maintained his innocence throughout the trial and the sentencing. 'I took this to trial without ever once trying to make a plea deal of any kind because I did not commit these crimes,' Anderson said on Friday. 'And so I plan to appeal my convictions, while I hope and pray that further investigations not only prove my innocence but find and deliver true justice.' Anderson and Robinson, a student at Milwaukee Area Technical College, first met at a bar in March 2024 a week before her death. Police said they then spent the late afternoon and early evening of April 1 drinking at two bars before heading back to Anderson's apartment. Photos on Anderson's phone showed Anderson groping Robinson as she lay face down on his couch. Prosecutors have argued she was incapacitated and couldn't resist. Surveillance video showed her car leaving his apartment early on the morning of April 2 and arriving at a park along the Lake Michigan shoreline. Prosecutors claimed that's where he cut her body into pieces. He later burned her car behind an abandoned building and took a bus home. Searchers discovered one of Robinson's legs in the park and her other leg and a foot near a playground close to where he burned the car. Within the car, despite 'extreme fire damage,' investigators identified the outfit Robinson had been wearing on the night of the date as well as part of an iPhone consistent with hers. A human torso and an arm believed to be Robinson's remains washed up on a beach in suburban South Milwaukee. Her head is still missing. First-degree intentional homicide in Wisconsin carries a mandatory life sentence. The only question for Anderson on Friday was whether the judge would allow him to seek parole. Anderson's attorney, Tony Cotton, asked the judge to make Anderson eligible for parole after 25 years. He argued that Anderson served in the US Navy and suffers from obvious mental health issues. Cotton acknowledged that Anderson has been convicted of multiple misdemeanor disorderly conduct counts in connection with domestic violence but they're not significant offenses compared to most homicide defendants. He added that he has concerns about Anderson's safety in prison. But judge Laura Crivello refused to offer Anderson a chance at parole. She dismissed Anderson's claims of innocence, saying his view of reality 'differs from the rest of the world.' Trailing off at times and shaking her head, she said he's irredeemable, called his crimes 'unconscionable' and likened the case to something out of a horror novel. As previously reported, before the gruesome murder, Anderson and Robinson watched the Netflix series Love, Death & Robots. The animated show's Season 2 finale, 'The Drowned Giant,' depicts the gruesome dismantling of a gigantic human body on a beach.

Foreign criminals are vanishing from our courts and reoffending under fake names, ex-prosecutor claims
FOREIGN criminals are vanishing from British courts mid-trial and reoffending under fake names, a former top prosecutor has claimed. Reform UK 's rising star Laila Cunningham, who recently quit the CPS, said illegal migrants are slipping through the cracks and warned Britain is now 'importing crime'. 2 2 The mother-of-seven and London councillor is now leading Nigel Farage's national crime campaign - having defected from the Tories. Speaking to The Sun, Ms Cunningham said overstayers and undocumented migrants often used 'long lists of aliases' to dodge justice - with some simply vanishing during trial. Recalling a shocking case, she said: 'He robbed a woman coming off the Eurostar, took her suitcase and left. He was an illegal asylum seeker, the mitigation is that he can't work. "So they ordered what you call a probation report. And they said, we are going to adjourn it until after lunch. He never came back, and he is untraceable. "And this happens all the time." Explaining how others simply lie about their age to stay in the country, she added: "I have had a guy with literally a receding hairline, white hairs, and he said he's 16. And then you have to argue in court if he really is 16. Legal Aid pays for an age assessor and he keeps committing crimes. "I definitely think that if you do commit a crime, your asylum application should be denied immediately." Ms Cunningham also said she felt forced out of the Crown Prosecution Service after speaking publicly about grooming gangs, a lack of policing, and her decision to join Reform. She revealed bosses raised three complaints, including that she had spoken critically about parts of the Muslim community. The Westminster councillor said: 'I said that Muslim communities have really let Muslims down. And I said, 'But I am Muslim. It's just me speaking in a personal capacity.'' Her comments come as Ministry of Justice figures show 1,731 foreign nationals are now in UK prisons for sex crimes - up nearly 10 per cent in a year. A total of 10,722 foreign offenders and suspects are currently behind bars - the highest figure in over a decade - costing the taxpayer an estimated £580 million annually. Backing 30,000 more police, zero-tolerance policing and automatic deportations, Ms Cunningham added: 'Criminals have to fear the law again. 'The old parties sold us out - Reform is the only one putting British people first.' A Crown Prosecution Service spokesperson said: "Councillor Cunningham resigned from her position as a CPS prosecutor.' They also stressed Ms Cunningham quit before HR action was initiated.
