State v. Perkins green

2019We thus are bound by our state supreme court’s decision in Perkins, which makes clear that a true threat is determined using an objective reasonable person standard: “A true threat is a statement that a speaker would reasonably foresee that a listener would reasonably interpret as a serious expression of a purpose to inflict harm.” Perkins, 243 Wis. 2d 141, ¶29 .

2001As explained in State v. Perkins, 2001 WI 46, ¶ 29 , 243 Wis. 2d 141 , 626 N.W.2d 762 , the true-threat test applies "an objective reasonable person standard," based on reasonable foreseeability, not intent.

2006The supreme court explained in Hart, 75 Wis. 2d 371 , that the "high degree of negligence" required for criminal culpability "is distinguished not by any different mental state on the part of the actor [as compared to ordinary negligence creating civil liability in tort], but by the existence of a high probability of death or great bodily harm as measured by the objective reasonable person test." Id. at 383 .
