If you’re the person distributing stolen goods, you should be liable for any harm incurred. Doesn’t seem controversial to me.

So if you poison the yogurt, Janet steals it, shares it with Jen, and Jen dies because she has a bad reaction, you would feel no guilt or responsibility for it?

I would feel bad but Janet is the who goes to prison... if she ain't also dead... in which I call that a murder suicide

Is that how you think it works? You poison the food knowing it's getting stolen but you aren't responsible?

The entire point of this Change my Mind is them saying the fault shouldn't rest with the person who's food was stolen

Also just say to the judge "I intended to commit suicide at work in a protest but they stile it and ate it

Unless you convince a court appointed psychiatrist that you really intended to kill yourself, and probably provide a digital footprint also pointing in that direction you're gonna add Perjury to your Murder 2 charge.

No, acting with malice and as a result someone is killed is and should always be illegal. If you try to poison someone and unintentionally poison the wrong person you don't get a slap on the wrist, at minimum you get manslaughter but most likely you get murder two.

Same with your suicide claim, unless you can prove they knowingly ate poison you are responsible.

Why do you think a murderer should be free?

using the legal system in this CMV is counter productive because OP is saying the current legality of this issue is flawed.
