Brian Kendall
Law enforcement officer who placed the covert recording device during the 2016 Matsuri restaurant surveillance operation and testified to authenticate that recording.
About
Kendall supplies the firsthand account of how one of the case's covert recordings was physically obtained — who placed the device, where it sat, and under what conditions it captured audio. That testimony is the foundation on which State's Exhibit 131 was admitted, making Kendall a useful reference point for anyone tracing how the Matsuri recording entered the trial record and how it was distinguished from the later enhancement work performed on it.
