A New Jersey dad is on trial for the murder of his 6-year-old son, Corey Micciolo, who died after a brutal treadmill workout. Christopher Gregor claims pneumonia, not the workout, caused the death, but prosecutors argue that chronic abuse led to internal injuries resulting in the boy’s death. Surveillance footage shows Gregor forcing Corey through a punishing treadmill session because he believed the child was overweight. Corey’s mother noticed bruises on him, and he later died with symptoms of nausea and slurred speech. Forensic analysis determined the death as a homicide due to chronic child abuse. Gregor faces murder charges in the case.
