A man accused of murdering his six-year-old son after allegedly making him run increasingly faster on a treadmill because he was “too fat” had reportedly met him for the first time just one year prior.

Christopher Gregor, 31, found out about his child, Corey Micciolo, for the first time when he was sued over “child support,” his attorneys claimed.

Investigators say Corey suffered traumatic injuries – including a final blow to the heart just hours before his death – which are believed to stem from chronic child abuse from his father.

A shocking video played in court at the New Jersey trial, which began this week, allegedly showed Mr Gregor standing by a treadmill watching the youngster run, turning the machine faster and faster. At multiple points, the boy falls off the treadmill onto the floor and is picked up, unwillingly, by Mr Gregor and put back on EVEN BITING COREY'S HEAD. & then you see Corey start running for his life & then falls & up & falls. This brings tears to my eyes.
In his opening statement, defence attorney Mario Gallucci said that in 2017, Mr Gregor was studying for a master’s degree at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.

Referring to the video that was yet to be played, he added:
“At some point, you’re gonna see Christopher, go to that treadmill and speed it up. And you’re gonna see Corey fall. And you’re gonna see him pick that boy up six times and put him back on the treadmill.

“And I’m gonna tell you right now you’re not gonna like him. And I don’t care if you like him.

“When you see that video, you are going to be horrified. You’re going to be mortified. But I’m telling you right now that the evidence you’re going to see... his death had absolutely nothing to do with that treadmill.”
