I already red it and I found the same idea about the fashion of poisoning Arthur : " If Arthur was poisoned in his ear (Gaius points out the evidence of tincture there) why does Gwen use Merlin’s access to the king’s food as proof of his guilt? Nobody claimed he’d eaten anything dodgy, did they?

Btw, at the end of the epi, Arthur said that the cook confirmed Merlin's alibi. Was it impossible to check it out before throwing Merlin in jail ? Honestly, I give up.
