Ricci may not have been a genius, but look how well he pulled off the burglary of Lin Lee's room in the Adams home. She actually woke up from the slight noises he made. He was STILL able to get away with it!!
I don't look upon Madelyne Gorman/Toogood, the child-beating mom, as a genius. But she is currently beating the system big-time!
