intelligence vs. evil

A mother of one of the Alabang Boys (3 young dudes arrested on drug charges) claimed in a TV interview that her son is a good boy.  She goes on to ‘substantiate’ this by saying that her son has excellent grades and is doing very well in school.

Now, I don’t know the full story behind these Alabang Boys and am not at liberty to make any suppositions regarding their guilt.  But the mom’s arguments don’t really hold water, do they? In this world, it’s entirely possible to be brilliant AND criminal.  I guess that poor lady hasn’t heard of the term EVIL GENIUS.
