About
Kristen Koch testified for the prosecution on Day 30 about the evidence-processing center she established and oversaw at Black Falcon Pier in South Boston beginning April 15. The FBI special agent estimated that approximately 3,000 items passed through intake and explained how evidence was prepared, tracked and transferred for examination.
Koch distinguished evidence requiring drying or additional packaging from crime-scene and search-warrant evidence that arrived properly packaged and sealed. She described reviewing Boylston Street evidence with agents and laboratory chemists to identify priority items for laboratory examination, and personally loading selected items onto FBI aircraft.
Under Nadine Pellegrini's questioning, Koch used Exhibit 421, already in evidence, to explain tracking labels, seal markings and documentation of opening and resealing. She affirmed responsibility for consistent processing in her absence and testified that items processed through Black Falcon followed the protocols she described. The defense asked no questions.
