Maxwell Anderson trial begins Tuesday
What we know:
After several delays, Maxwell Anderson's homicide trial is set to start on Tuesday, May 27. It is expected to last up to two weeks.
Up first is the process of selecting jurors for the high-profile case. At least 70 jurors are expected to be called for the selection process.
Jury selection
What they're saying:
Defense attorney Jonathan LaVoy is one of the legal experts FOX6 News viewers can expect to see throughout the trial.
"It is going to be tough to find jurors that don’t know a lot about the case," LaVoy said. "The parties are going to be focusing on jurors that are going to be fair and impartial."

Ultimately, it will be 12 jurors who will end up deciding what the evidence in the case says and whether Anderson is responsible for Robinson's death.
Timeline:
Robinson and Anderson were seen at two Milwaukee bars on April 1, 2024, on a first date. Less than 24 hours later, Robinson's severed leg was found at Warnimont Park in Cudahy.

In the days that followed, other human remains were later found in the area of 30th and Walnut, just blocks from where Robinson's car was found torched on the morning of April 2.
Around that time, prosecutors say these surveillance photos are of Anderson leaving, and hopping a bus back to his home on Milwaukee's south side. It is that home investigators searched two days later, and where prosecutors believe Robinson went after leaving a Water Street bar.
