Description
1 Jacinto S. Rico appeals from a judgment entered after a jury rejected his theory of self-defense and found him guilty of one count of first-degree reckless injury for stabbing Timothy Lowe and one count of first-degree recklessly endangering safety for stabbing John Thrasher. Rico does not dispute that he stabbed Thrasher and Lowe. Rather, he claims the evidence was insufficient to support the jurys verdicts on his convictions for first-degree reckless injury and first-degree recklessly endangering safety. Specifically, Rico contends the evidence was insufficient to satisfy the element "under circumstances which show an utter disregard for human life." See WIS. STAT. §§ 940.23(1)(a) and 941.30(1) (2007-08).We disagree and affirm.
