There is a reason Cummings keeps bringing up this issue of vomiting prior to death.
Cummings delivery drives me crazy. He sounds like he's on the left end of the intelligence bell curve with that slowwwww voice and those long hesitations.
I think he's tying together that there was little to no food in her stomach and brad had cleaned the floors.
He's not very smooth that's for sure!
Prosecution seems to be trying to extract a statement that Nancy vomited before she died to explain the empty stomach.

Yeah, he just screwed up. Unless he can show Nancy didn't eat after 7:00 PM, he has to show that Nancy vomited. Or her body would have had food in her stomach if she was killed when she got home. So the lack of alcohol in her system and the lack of food would indicate she wasn't killed when she got home.

Autopsy report says sexual assault kit collected.
So if she did vomit, would the theory be:
1. When she came home because she was drunk; or
2. During/after the fight with BC before death.
I think they are attempting to suggest that NC may have vomited as she was being strangled...as a result of the action of being strangled, which would account for why there was little left in her system (and possibly there could be evidence in some other place in the case).
Watch Donna Lopez's testimony again.
