A New Jersey father, Christopher Gregor, was sentenced to 25 years in prison for the death of his son, Corey Micciolo, who was forced to run on a speeding treadmill as a form of discipline. The tragic incident occurred on March 20, 2021, when Gregor made the 6-year-old boy use the treadmill despite multiple falls. Corey passed away on April 2, sparking a legal battle that culminated in Gregor's sentencing.
During the court proceedings, Gregor maintained that he was unaware of his son's serious medical condition following the treadmill punishment and denied any direct involvement in Corey's death. However, prosecutors presented evidence that Gregor had increased the treadmill speed while the boy was on it, leading to multiple falls and ultimately causing fatal injuries.
