It can mean either as the root of the word is "Imply" but, normally, it is used in a negative sense... especially in a court-room setting where a first event "implies" that a second event either happened, or was intended to happen. An example is when a 5yo gets on a chair to get the cookie jar down from the top shelf... It could very rationally be implied that he wanted to eat a cookie or two, not examine the art-work on the ceramic jar.
