The boy’s mother, Bre Micciolo, was the first witness to take the stand and cried as she watched the horrifying video.
Days before her son’s death, she reported the boy’s injuries to the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency. On April 1, she asked Gregor to take his son to the doctor, where Corey revealed that his father had made him run on the treadmill “because he was too fat.”
The next day, Gregor took the boy to the hospital because he had worrying symptoms, including difficulty breathing and neurological problems.
During a CT scan, Corey suffered a seizure, forcing medical staff to take measures to save his life, but they were unsuccessful. An initial autopsy found that Corey died as a result of blunt force injuries with cardiac and liver contusions with acute inflammation and sepsis.

In September 2021, a forensic pathologist determined that Corey’s death was a homicide due to chronic abuse that included blunt impact injuries to the chest and abdomenwith a laceration to the heart, left lung contusion and laceration and contusion of the liver.
Gregor was arrested on March 9, 2022 for the death of his son and has since rejected a 30-year plea deal.
