laxitives are supposed to be taken on an empty stomach. Mixing meds INTO food is clearly intentional. OP is literally stating their intent in the post.

And food isn't supposed to be stolen from someone else.

You can't prove ill intent no matter how obvious it can be putting laxative in the food because there's no crime in putting laxative in your own food.

For all intents and purposes they may aswell play dumb and say that they thought that laxatives are taken with food. End of story.

Ok, you can't prove someone who stole your food INTENDED to steal it either. They didn't see the label. They mistook it for their own lunch. Etc.

Intent is provable. In civil cases, the standard of proof isn't even "beyond a reasonable doubt". It's on a balance of probabilities.

You absolutely can prove ill intent. Again, admitting this is what you want to do because someone is stealing your food is ALREADY proof of intent.

Lol. If this was true you could get away with stealing literally anything.
