Treadmill dad found GUILTY of aggravated manslaughter for son he 'abused to death'

A jury has found a New Jersey father guilty of aggravated manslaughter and child endangerment over the death of his six-year-old son. 

Christopher Gregor, 31, was found guilty following a four-week trial where jurors heard from witnesses over what led to the death of Corey Micciolo in 2021. 

Part of that trial including surveillance footage showing Gregor increasing the speed and incline on a treadmill, causing Micciolo to fall several times. 

The little boy died weeks later, and Gregor's legal team insists he died of infection despite medical experts' findings that he suffered blunt force trauma. 

The jury rejected a murder charge but instead convicted him on a lesser charge of aggravated manslaughter, which comes with 10 to 30 years behind bars. 

Gregor had originally only been charged with child endangerment in relation to the surveillance video. 

It wasn't until almost a year after his son died that he was formally charged with murder after the medical examiner initially ruled the death to be undetermined.
