GUILTY NJ - Trial of Christopher Gregor Allegedly Beat 6-Year-OId Son to Death #2 *NG murder, Guilty endangering welfare, agg manslaughter*

[Megnut]

Sentence:

Don't give maximum sentence.

 

[arielilane]

He won't get max sentence.

 

[Megnut]

20 yrs

 

[Poedelini]

Only 25 years.

 

[Weki]

Won’t give him max because he has no prior record!

Count 1 - 5 years
Count 2 - 20 years (has to complete 85% before release)

Consecutive!!! Judge says the treadmill incident is separate and making this concurrent would be giving the defendant a “free crime” on that one.

 

[Megnut]

Judge said maximum sentence is legally not sustainable.

Since CG has no notable criminal record...

20 years, subject to 80% time served

And 5 years for the abuse

 

[arielilane]

Laws need to be different - stricter when it's against a child or against children. A child is defenseless. Laws need changed every where! moo

 

[I am not Sherlock H.]

So we are hearing 20 + 5 years and based on discussion almost sounds like concurrent. Until I heard judge just say, no ‘free’ crimes and timing of offenses and separate acts. Still seems need a fingers crossed emoji. MOO

 

[Megnut]

Separate incidences

Judge rules consecutive sentences.

So 25 years.

Count 2 - 20 years (has to complete 85% before release)

I’ve followed many trials over the years and when a “expert Witness” takes the stand they go through a process of being “qualified”.

Does this not happen at a hearing?

From everything posted here regarding this witness it appears that Odinism is not her area of expertise.

Makes me so angry. Because the history is there, but "someone" went behind CG and cleaned up his messes.

Maybe if CG was held accountable for smaller things, we wouldn't be here.

And Corey still would.

[Megnut]

It's hard to hear the minimizing of Corey's abuse....

 

[Poedelini]

It's hard to hear the minimizing of Corey's abuse....

Yes, severe understatement.

 

[arielilane]

CG sentenced to 25 years in prison.

 

[Poedelini]

Let's end with Corey. May you fly high.

 

[turaj]

Boy that is getting off light 85% of 25 plus time served. I think judge might have gone stronger but feared any appeal based on standards.

 

[Megnut]

Sad day. No winners.

5 years for the kind of abuse that leads to homicide.

He stole 70+ years from Corey. And will serve 25, less timed served, less adjustments.

He robbed Corey of becoming the father he (CG) could never be.

He’s 32 so he’ll be early 50s by the time he gets out. The issue is that the jury found him NG of the murder charge otherwise he’d do life. So the way the law is written for this conviction it allows him to be out after a long sentence. Smh.

Separate incidences

Judge rules consecutive sentences.

So 25 years.

I’m really hoping the judge did it this way to minimize the chances of a successful appeal. Making sure the record is clear that all factors were considered and some rulings were “pro-defense.” It is a pretty light sentence but maybe the judge has seen extreme sentences over ruled and it is VERY clear that certain enabling parents will appeal until all appeals are exhausted with high priced attorneys. NJ tends to be a bit on the “sympathetic” side - I’m in NJ.

ETA - weki is right - the jury verdict also limited the sentence. A good example of “sympathetic” NJ. I 100% would have convicted of murder.

I noted that his mother was not anywhere near Dad if there at all. I think this may have caused a rift between them and marriage in jeopardy..just a guess. His Dad is really something. CG is pleased with himself as he sits there...he will be back on the streets at some point and deserved much more.
