Mortgage scammer charged with plotting to kill witness from behind bars

Hand was taped giving instuctions to the “hitman” –  actually an investigator from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office –  on how to shoot the witness, his wife and their two kids at their home in Brooklyn and dump the bodies. “No samples, no DNA, no gloves,” Hand said, according to court papers. “Wear something over your head.”
