Legal Definitions - person-endangering state of mind

Person-endangering state of mind refers to an intention to cause harm to another person. This can include:

• Intent to kill
• Intent to inflict great bodily injury
• Acting in wanton disregard of an unreasonable risk
• Perpetrating a dangerous felony

For example, if someone plans to shoot another person, they have a person-endangering state of mind. Similarly, if someone drives recklessly and puts others in danger, they are acting with a person-endangering state of mind.

It's important to note that this state of mind doesn't necessarily mean that the person actually caused harm to another person. It simply means that they had the intention to do so.
