Killer, 34, murdered and dismembered student, 19, on first date after ‘watching Netflix series showing mutilation'
A 34-YEAR-OLD man murdered and dismembered a college student, 19, on the first date after allegedly watching a Netflix series showing mutilation. Maxwell Anderson was convicted of homicide and dismembering a corpse on Friday for the heinous murder of Sade Robinson last year. 10 10 10 The two had met at a bar and spent the rest of their evening getting dinner and drinks at the Twisted Fisherman in Milwaukee. Teen Sade then went back to Anderson's apartment where, at one point in the night, the alleged killer put on Netflix show Love, Death & Robots. One episode of the series called "The Drowned Giant" portrays the horrific mutilation of a human body on the beach. In a chilling similarity, prosecutors have claimed that monster Anderson dismembered Sade's body on a beach in Wisconsin overlooking Lake Michigan. Juror Melissa Blascoe told the Milwaukee-Journal Sentinel:"I was like [...] that's disgusting because that could have been where he got some of his ideas or fantasies. "I physically felt like I was gonna throw up at that point. I know a lot of people were shaking and crying." Anderson was also charged with arson and hiding a corpse in connection with Sade's death. He was found guilty on all counts. Cops said it's believed Anderson spread the 19-year-old's remains across Milwaukee County and burned her car in an attempt to hide key evidence. Surveillance footage showed Sade's car leaving Anderson's apartment in the early hours of April 2. Eerie new video shows 'killer' dad Travis Decker as cops fear 'expert' soldier won't be caught for MONTHS after murders It then arrived at the beach along the shores of Lake Michigan. When Sade didn't turn up for work the next day, concern was sparked on her whereabouts. The student's manager Justin Romano told CNN that she was "very outgoing, she would talk to everybody here." He added: "She was always there to lighten the mood." After Sade hadn't showed up for her shift - which "wasn't like her at all" - Justin added: "We kind of knew something was up. "We had been calling her all day." Anderson is thought to have dismembered Sade and set her car alight behind an abandoned building. He then took a bus back to is apartment. 10 10 10 10 Despite "extreme fire damage" to Sade's car, cops where able to identify the outfit the 19-year-old had been wearing on the night of the date alongside part of an iPhone consistent with hers, CNN reports. Cops had been called to Warnimont Park after a human leg was horrifically discovered, which was later identified as belonging to Sade. Anderson had planned to kill the student weeks before her death, a "confidential informant" claimed, Fox News reports. Anderson's attorney Tony Cotton argued that the prosecution showed no evidence of his intention to kill Sade. The attorney also raised how Anderson didn't try to hide his identity as he travelled on public transport home and was also in clean clothes despite having allegedly dismembered Sade's body in a muddy location. Jurors reached their verdict in one hour on the ninth day of trial. Milwaukee County Assistant District Attorney Ian Vance-Curzan said: "While we are satisfied with this verdict, our hearts go out to the family of Sade Robinson." And Milwaukee County Sheriff's Det. JoAnn Donner - who had spent months working on the heartbreaking case - said: "My heart goes out to the family and [Sade's] friends and really, the community at large. "It's everyone's come together, and it's really hard to take that step back as a law enforcement officer and not get that really emotionally involved during the case. "I will admit that I did go back to my office after the verdict, and I had a good cry because I finally got to have that emotion. It does affect us too." And Sade's grieving mom Sheena Scarbrough said in a GoFundMe set up for her daughter's memorial service that she was a "loving daughter, a cherished sister, and a dear friend to many". Anderson is to be sentenced on August 15, where he faces a mandatory life sentence in prison. 10 10 10

Maniac killed and student, 19, on their first date after getting inspiration from Netflix
A Wisconsin man killed and dismembered a 19-year-old college student on their first date after watching a Netflix show that depicted an eerily similar mutilation. Maxwell Anderson was convicted of homicide and dismembering a corpse on Friday for the horrific murder of Sade Robinson on April 1 of last year - just days after the two met at a bar. They had spent the evening of their fateful date having dinner and drinks at the Twisted Fisherman in Milwaukee, before eventually going back to Anderson's apartment. At one point, Anderson turned on the Netflix series Love, Death & Robots. The show's season two finale, The Drowned Giant, depicts the gruesome dismembering of a gigantic human body on a beach. Prosecutors claimed that Anderson mutilated Robinson's body on a Wisconsin beach overlooking Lake Michigan - a jarring detail that was almost too much to stomach for the jury. 'I was like... that's disgusting because that could have been where he got some of his ideas or fantasies,' juror Melissa Blascoe told the Milwaukee-Journal Sentinel. 'I physically felt like I was gonna throw up at that point. I know a lot of people were shaking and crying.' Anderson was also charged with arson and hiding a corpse in connection with her death. He was found guilty on all counts. Investigators said that Anderson is believed to have spread her remains around Milwaukee County and burned her car to hide evidence. Disturbing images showed Robinson being groped by Anderson while she lay face down on his couch, and prosecutors said she was far too incapacitated to have resisted. One image shows Anderson holding Robinson's right breast as she lay unconscious. That breast would later be cut off her body. 'This is his trophy in a way,' Blascoe said about the images taken by Anderson. 'Those pictures will be in my mind for quite some time.' Surveillance video showed Robinson's car leaving the apartment in the early hours of April 2 before arriving at the beach along Lake Michigan shores. The young student's disappearance sparked concern when she didn't appear for work the next day. Her manager, Justin Romano, told CNN that Robinson was 'very outgoing, she would talk to everybody here. She was always there to lighten the mood'. Romano said her not showing up for work 'wasn't like her at all,' and added: 'We kind of knew something was up; we had been calling her all day.' Anderson is believed to have cut her body into pieces and burned her car behind an abandoned building before taking a bus back to his apartment. Within the car, despite 'extreme fire damage', investigator's identified the outfit Robinson had been wearing on the night of the date as well as part of an iPhone consistent with hers burned in the car, CNN reported. Police then were called to Warnimont Park where a human leg, that appeared to have been 'sawn off' at the hip, was discovered. The leg was then identified as Robinson's. A 'confidential informant' claimed that Anderson had planned to kill Robinson weeks prior to her death, Fox News reported. Anderson's attorney, Tony Cotton, argued, however, that the prosecution showed no evidence of Anderson's intention to kill Robinson. Cotton also pointed out he made no attempt to conceal himself on public transport home, and was wearing clean clothes despite having allegedly cut up her body in a muddy park. Jurors reached their verdict within an hour on the ninth day of trial. 'While we are satisfied with this verdict, our hearts go out to the family of Sade Robinson,' Milwaukee County Assistant District Attorney Ian Vance-Curzan said. Milwaukee County Sheriff's Detective JoAnn Donner spent months working on the case and said: 'My heart goes out to the family and [Robinson's] friends and really, the community at large. 'It's everyone's come together, and it's really hard to take that step back as a law enforcement officer and not get that really emotionally involved during the case,' she continued. 'I will admit that I did go back to my office after the verdict, and I had a good cry because I finally got to have that emotion. It does affect us too.' Robinson's mother, Sheena Scarbrough, said in a GoFundMe for her daughter's memorial service that Robinson was a 'loving daughter, a cherished sister, and a dear friend to many.' Anderson is set for sentencing on August 15, where he faces a mandatory life sentence in prison.

Has Love, Death & Robots been renewed for Season 5? Here's what we know:
Renewed Or Cancelled? Love, Death & Robots is a unique animated anthology that spans numerous different styles and tones across its expansive – but short – episodes. With some thematically sound chapters and a lot of great ideas, if you're a fan of the show you may be wondering if this one's been renewed or cancelled. What is Love, Death & Robots about? Love, Death & Robots is an animated anthology, centering around the three concepts from its title – love, death and robots. Sometimes these chapters feature all three, while other times we're graced with more ambiguous and open-ended chapters. Volume 4 is arguably the weakest of the bunch, with episodes centering largely around sentient cats, alien invasions and humanity coming together to stop bigger threats. We have extensive coverage of Love, Death & Robots across the site, including recaps for every episode. You can find that HERE! Has Love, Death & Robots been renewed for season 5? At the time of writing, Netflix have not renewed Love, Death & Robots for season 5! Given how wildly popular this show is, and the seemingly limitless possibilities for more, this may well have been a no-brainer for the streaming giants though. With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show's future is made. So far, Love, Death & Robots has had a mixed reaction from critics and audiences alike to its fifth season, with many commenting (including ourselves) that the plot recycles the same ideas and it doesn't hit the same heights we've seen in seasons past. Given the way this show is set up, we're predicting that this will be renewed for a fifth season. The series has been a flagship animated series for Netflix and given the strong completion rate accompanying this one, it seems like it'll only be a matter of time before it gets the nod. However, we could be completely wrong, given Netflix do love to cancel a lot of their originals, so take our prediction with a pinch of salt! What we know about season 5 so far: Barely anything is known about season 5 at this point, given Netflix have not announced a sequel. It would seem that there would be around 10 episodes, each ranging between 5-15 minutes in length. Expect some returning Directors and more thought provoking ideas to bleed through. We could also see more sequels to previous chapters or some new stand-out stories too. We'll have to wait and see. Are you excited to see Love, Death & Robots return for a fifth season? Or have you had enough of this animated anthology? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Get ready, because 10 new genre snippets -- that range from sci-fi and fantasy to horror -- are nearly here to break your brains, but in a good way. The series's animation style runs rampant, which is by design. Like Star Wars: Visions, the animated anthology featuring the work of animation studios worldwide, the program (created by Deadpool director Tim Miller and executive produced by David Fincher) highlights the work of up-and-coming animation houses.

Fincher directed an episode in volume 3 and helmed Can't Stop, an episode in the new installment, which stars the members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Other volume 4 cast members include MrBeast, Kevin Hart, John Oliver, Niecy Nash, John Boyega, Rahul Kholi and Rhys Darby. Dinosaur warriors, space skirmishes, rockstar puppets and sentient kitchen appliances are just a few details awaiting us once the new episodes drop.
