Police are investigating after the lawyer representing the man accused of killing a young Milwaukee woman received a death threat.
The Waukesha Police Department says someone called Anthony Cotton’s law office and threatened to kill members of his family if he didn’t drop the Maxwell Anderson case. Anderson is accused of murdering and dismembering Sade Robinson in April of 2024 and scattering her body parts across Milwaukee County. Anderson faces a first-degree intentional homicide charge, and his just trial started this week. Law enforcement says they’re taking the threat seriously and an investigation is underway.
