Pam Hupp is smarter than you. She's smarter than all of us. At least that's what she thinks in her mind. And she's used her genius to pull off a series of murders so perfect she outwitted the police at every turn. I assume that's what she tells herself as she tries to sleep in a cage each night since being sentenced to life in prison for one of the murders. The level of Pam's hubris is straight from a Shakespearian play. And we spend this week making fun of...

Their members lived like queens because they were never caught in any of the major crimes they committed.
