elaborate ways for example
Adebisi killed a man by adding ground up
glass to his meals for an extended
period of time
ready almost and murdered another by
deliberately infecting him with HIV
maybe she just pinched me needless to
say this is not someone you wanna mess
with you think because we have same

number for Sideshow Bob The Simpsons
Bart Simpson the spirited little scamp
who twice foiled my evil schemes and
sent me to this dank urine-soaked till

criminal masterminds in the simpson

the Klown dr. robbert under dunk to
Williger alias Sideshow Bob grows tired
of his boss’s mistreatment but his plan

obsesses over his revenge against Bart
nearly all his schemes involve vengeance
on the spiky menace but they also
inevitably end in Bob’s re-incarceration
my best laid plans of gang goodnight
well that or a rake handle to the face
three Piper Chapman orange is the new
black I love you so much
based upon real-life money launderer
turned author Piper Kerman Chapman is a
convicted drug trafficker and main
character of this comedy-drama for 50
grand in that bag career 100 kills for
someone who looks so innocent she is an
incredibly complex character and often
unsympathetic to mr. Christ I know that
I’ve done some things recently that have
not been I’ve been of tear standards
she’s shown the propensity to be cool
and manipulative to fellow inmates but
at the same time has the capacity for
compassion and self-reflection as her
improving relationship with Redd the
head chef shows this former PR executive
has her world turned upside down and has
to quickly work out how to deal with her
new volatile environment and status as
an inmate I’ll do my best
that’s right you will number two Kate
Austen lost 10 shoes
she’s dangerous throughout the first
couple of seasons of this mysterious
drama we get a look at the life of crime
Kate Austen led prior to the crash of
oceanic flight 815 on the run for the
murder of her mother’s abusive husband
and the brains behind at least one
robbery the girl is the one who set you
up as well as the owner of multiple
aliases Austin is a more multifaceted
character than she may seem at first
after the plane crash Kate is better
known as a mother figure to Claire’s
child and a love interest for both Jack
and Sawyer so you can play games all you
want I know this is human being in there
someone give me the medication but
underneath it all we know she is an
undeniable badass before we reveal our

Kimble is innocent exactly like a date
before mr. Mcoy number one Michael
Scofield prison break are you sure about
this mr. Scofield I’m sure your honor
though fellow member of the Fox River
eight t-bag would have been a worthy
addition to this list I don’t protect
you that rug heads gonna gobble you up
the younger Scofield is far more
influential in driving the story of this
show he is perhaps the only voluntary
convict on this list as he gets himself
imprisoned in order to break out his
wrongfully convicted older brother
Michael meticulously prepares his
brothers escape by tattooing his body
with plans of the prison scene the
blueprints better than that
I’ve got him on me and identifying other
inmates who will be crucial in carrying
out the plan

Scofield’s next ingenious move pans out
from episode to episode really makes for
fantastic TV and that’s why he’s got our
top spot do you agree with our list
