FALMOUTH - A man in jail awaiting trial on rape and assault charges offered to pay $3,000 to a state trooper posing as a hit man to kill two women, according to court records. Antonio T. Ferreira, 42, of Falmouth wanted the woman who accused him of rape killed so she couldn't testify against him, according to court records.
Ferreira, who is originally from Brazil, may be in the country illegally and his passport must be surrendered if he makes bail, according to court records. He was being held on $50,000 cash bail on the rape and assault charges, but that was increased after the new charges were added. He was back in court briefly yesterday for a previously scheduled probable cause hearing on the rape charges, but that hearing has been continued to Dec. 14.

$3,000 for a hit? Not only stupid, but a cheap bastard, too.
I'll bet he's always going for those Nigerian Funds Account scams.
This has to be in the stupid criminal's Hall of Fame. I can't believe he pleaded innocent! Does his attorney think he can prove entrapment?!
Ah hell, he just came to rape the ugly girls that Americans wouldn't rape....

Wow! Way to dig faster when you find yourself in a deep hole.
And tehy're going to allow him to bail out? This must be Mass.
That amount could barely get you a slashed tire!
One sees so many of these stories, i.e., some slob trying to arrange a hit and finds himself or herself talking to a police officer, that you wonder whether there really are authentic hit men out there. Probably, I guess, but there can't be too many and they certainly don't make themselves available to Joe Blow.
