Christopher Gregor, a 31-year-old New Jersey father, is on trial for allegedly murdering his six-year-old son, Corey Micciolo, in 2021. According to reports, the trial took an emotional turn when Corey’s mother, Bre Micciolo, broke down in court while watching disturbing video footage of her son being forced to run on a treadmill at high speed and incline by Gregor. The footage, obtained from the Atlantic Heights Clubhouse fitness center, shows Gregor ignoring Corey’s repeated falls and increasing the machine’s difficulty settings. Tragically, Corey passed away a day after his father took him to the hospital with symptoms including seizures. An initial autopsy revealed blunt force injuries, cardiac and liver contusions, and sepsis as the cause of death. Gregor was initially arrested in July 2021 on child neglect charges and was later charged with Corey’s murder in March 2022. He is currently being held in jail without bond.
