Karr's role as a potential government witness against Waters may hinge on the outcome of the Detroit firearms' case, and the government's case may hinge on the admission of the guns as evidence. If it's out, we're dead. If it's behind the picture, we have a chance. A ruling by U.S. District Judge Paul Borman is expected late next month. According to the FBI, members of a San Antonio gang that specialized in hitting storage warehouses had a field day in early October 1995 when they broke into Unit 1640 of the Burnet Road Self-Storage in North Austin.
Federal officials say the crooks just got lucky.
But no other units of the Burnet Road facility were hit that day or anytime that month. We didn't have any burglaries at that time on the property we were aware of. Austin police confirm that they had no complaints in October 1995 from the storage facility about burglaries. This was not an inside job. It makes sense.
