   e.g. 53 Wis. 2d 791 - Bednarski v. State · 83 Wis. 2d 440 - Balistreri v. State

2. ““The first element of this offense requires that the defendant’s conduct was imminently dangerous to another, that is, conduct dangerous in and of itself. It must have been conduct inherently and consciously dangerous to life and not such as might casually produce death by misadventure.” Wis. J.I. — Criminal II, 1345.”

   3 later decisions quote this exact passage
   e.g. 64 Wis. 2d 456 - Seidler v. State · 125 Wis. 2d 276 - State v. Blanco

3. ““. . . This section creates a separate crime of endangering a person’s life by conduct which is of such a nature as normally would cause or be likely to cause or result in death and which is performed with the general intention to do harm without concern whether such harm would result in death; but it is not necessary that there be the specific intent to harm a particular person. Thus the conduct, including the instrumentality if one is used, must have the potentiality of causing death but such death may not be intended.””
