NJ - Trial of Christopher Gregor Allegedly Beat 6-Year-OId Son to Death

[AnyNameIWish]

These are the searches found from CG's iPhone. It definitely sounded to me like defense is mad as heck that this was all admitted. Heads might be rolling somewhere since Christopher's daddy is a high ranking retired New Jersey state trooper! Those LE testifying are putting a LOT on the line.

I'll work on the texts now. Looks like during 4/2/21 Christopher was busy texting Marci, Laura and Amy. I think Amy was a coworker but I can't tell.

In chronological order:

Excerpts of search terms from Christopher Gregor cell phone: I did proofread and YES they said it was PONG in the search from 4:28pm om 4/3. Likely fat fingers.

I don't remember where there were any accusations made by the defense about BM (mom) having been on meth when this particular instance occurred. Please elaborate, because this has never been stated or part of an accusation against the mom.

Mom started getting weekend visitation because she agreed to getting sober (urine tests, etc) and that was what was granted to her. No doctor today said anything about treating for sepsis. The female pediatrician told mom to go to the shore clinic for further evaluation. Not for treatment of sepsis. The Asian pediatrician at the ER nearby (not the shore clinic) did an evaluation and after 5 hours he was discharged since they didn't see broken bones, his labs were normal, his organs were functioning, and then he got home with mom after 1am.

<modsnip>

She was trying to get a "bump" right after she dropped him off. She testified to it the first day of the trial. She said she was unsuccessful getting it, but she spent some time trying. Just because she didn't happen to get any at that particular moment (she says) doesn't make a lot of difference to me.

One of the hospitals she took him to caught the sepsis. That also was from the first day. They recommended she leave him there and she didn't. Rewatch it, it's there.

 

[ConcernedVA]

She previously warned authorities as far back as July 2020 that her son would return from his father's home with black eyes, bruises, scrapes and even 'bite marks.'

Just looking at the above quote from the Daily Mail article, I would assume that all such reports must by law be investigated? So does this mean that they were not finding evidence of any such injuries?

The dad was saying these were "football injuries". Makes me think of all the people who saw Harmony Montgomery with black eyes and they accepted her dad's ridiculous excuses.

 

[ConcernedVA]

Please provide a link to an MSM or other approved source to support the statement that mom has a meth problem.

If an approved link is not provided, the above is considered rumor, not victim friendly, and will be removed.

Thanks.

The mom testified to it on the first day of trial.

 

[mickey2942]

It just breaks my heart that this mother tried to keep her son from his abuser, and no one would listen to her.

Cases like this should be presented at staff trainings. For review and evaluation.

 

[NuttMegg]

I don't remember any testimony saying that any of the doctors the mother/Corey saw on April 1- April 2 a.m. said anything about sepsis being present or suspected, never heard the word sepsis while Corey was with her.

Was it the mother who said that? The grandmotherly pediatrician? I just don't think that was said in court.

Can someone give me a clue which day it was, or which witness?

Could that have come from the def atty? Reviewing what he said (in court, on the record) about CG repeatedly picking up Corey when he fell off the treadmill, well that was not true. CG only picked him up once, the other 4-5 times he simply stood there and watched the boy get thrown to the floor and try to get back on the treadm. Without his father helping.

 

[AnyNameIWish]

Imo sepsis has been put in people's minds and sepsis isn't something you catch/get. The most obvious explanation to me is his organs were shutting down because of trauma. This causes all kinds of things, including sepsis but he's not dying from sepsis. He's dying from blunt force trauma and his liver and heart lacerations. The ER doc from the night mom took him did blood work and an exam. He had bruises but wasn't bleeding. Wasn't in distress. So he had "just bruises" so since mom's custody time was over she had to turn him back to CG because of Judge Bradshaw, who denied the emergency custody change. I can only imagine the distress mom was feeling...

So yeah.... bully attorney Mr Mario said it a bunch of times. And it's listed in the cause of death but it's not THE cause of death.

"An initial autopsy found Corey died as a result of blunt force injuries with cardiac and liver contusions with acute inflammation and sepsis."
This is what is being repeated time and time again.

Guess what causes sepsis?
Blunt-force trauma to your liver and heart... ding ding! (NOT meant at a jab at anyone .. it's just so poorly written/explained in the Media!)

Gallucci also told the jury about BM signing the hospital release to remove Corey from their care in his opening statement

Gallucci has attempted to paint Breanna Micciolo as a less than ideal parent herself. Gallucci told the jury Micciolo had signed her son out of Community Medical Center in Toms River, N.J., at some point before he died, against medical advice, even though she was told Corey might have sepsis as a result of complications from pneumonia.

"Gallucci told the jury Micciolo had signed her son out of Community Medical Center in Toms River, N.J., at some point before he died, against medical advice, even though she was told Corey might have sepsis as a result of complications from pneumonia"

Imo no evidence has been presented in court that mother was told Corey might have sepsis, pneumonia, etc. The defense atty claiming that his medical experts will say something in the future doesn't mean squat until that happens.
Also his own statements or accusations while cross examining the mother are not evidence, especially since he's already lied in court about the treadmill sequence.

Anyway if anyone will guide me to the witness who testified they told the mother about sepsis and pneumonia I'll go back, check it out and say I was wrong.

@cathyrusson

SCHEDULE (messy) for the remainder of the #ChristopherGregor trial. State will be done with witnesses today but their final witness isn't available until May 22. They will handle motions tomorrow then court dark until next Wed. Defense will call witnesses Wed & Thur. Then dark until May 21 when defense will call more witnesses. State will then call their final witness May 22 (I think M.E. ). They will rest on the 22nd. Defense will call their final witness, Dr. Baden, on May 23. Closing arguments May 28 (day after Memorial).

Waiting on the defense to present their case and present evidence besides the mother's testimony. Then the state will present their argument.

 

[Weki]

The delays in this trial are so annoying. Never seen anything like this. Except the ysl trial which is a complete joke.

Anyway, thanks to those updating the thread. I just can’t watch this trial. It’s too upsetting. But those searches and his flight are great evidence for the state. Consciousness of guilt is always a winner for the prosecution. I don’t even want to think of what he did to that poor child during the time he was texting his date. Ugh.

A New Jersey man accused of dropping his son off at the hospital covered in bruises before fleeing the state has been charged with first-degree murder, prosecutors announced this week.

Christopher Gregor, 29, is accused of beating 6-year-old Corey Micciolo to death on April 2, 2021.

These charges come in the wake of the Ocean County Medical Examiner determining that Corey died as a result of “blunt force injuries with cardiac and live contusions with acute inflammation and sepsis.”

“On March 3, 2022, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office received a report from the State’s expert witness which indicated that [Corey] died as a result of blunt force impact of the chest and abdomen, and determined the manner of the child’s death to be a homicide,” Ocean County Prosecutors said in a press release after Gregor’s arrest. “An extensive investigation conducted by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit, Barnegat Township Police Department, and Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit revealed that [Corey] was in the custody of Gregor at the time he sustained his life-ending injuries and that Gregor is the individual responsible for the child’s death.”

Texts that were read to the jury on Day 4. So many are out of context but I'm sure defense fought tooth and nail to exclude as many as possible.

Most are from Christopher to Marci who was going to be his pizza date that night. 4/1 is the night mom took Corey to the ER for the bruises. They got home at 1am. 4/2 at around 830-9 in the morning, mom brought Corey back to dad, per the custody agreement.

Selected texts:

4/1/21
5:17pm to Marc of DCPP

7:48pm to Marci

9:28pm to Marci
At police station now.

9:35pm to Laura

10:17pm to Amy
Hey so I'm going to take off work tomorrow because Corey's mom decided not to bring back from visitation and I'm going to have to go to court in the morning. Since Natalie isn't working and who do I reach out to?

9:54am to Amy

9:54am Amy to Christopher
He's ok though, right?

9:55am to Amy

11:53am to Marci

12noon to Marci
Nice. I might take a nap so I don't fall asleep on you! LOL

12:14pm to Marci
Do you desire a traditional pizza, Domino's, or Pizza Hut?

12:19pm to Marci

12:23pm to Marci
Hand tossed, thin crust, or stuffed crust or deep dish?

1:01pm to Marci
Well just let me know when is the earliest you could come here.

1:46pm to Marci

4/4/21

9:38am to Laura
On my way!

11:17am to Laura
I'm heree

 

[AnyNameIWish]

For the above, I tried to go with what the officer said, like the yeahhh with 3 h. That's what the officer said. I didn't add too much punctuation, & went with the punctuation/capitalization style I'd expect to get from a bro.

(Adding a separate post cuz these are just my musings)

- Texts from 4/4 in the morning.... Is this to bring up how there seem to be no texts between evening of 4/2 and morning of 4/4, so Christopher likely had his cell phone off/airplane mode as much as possible?

- Texts to his mom/dad are not mentioned... yet?

- Also, to me, the text on 4/4 to Laura sound like she was a hookup since he knew he probably blew it with Marci, would be interesting to see if she is ever called. (Shocked they read out the cell phone numbers in court. I hope Marci isn't getting calls from weirdos)

- The 2:06pm photo of him with Corey is an interesting bit of evidence. I'm assuming this is before his body started the diarrhea/vomiting? But then.... 3:22pm "I'm sooo excited haha" to Marci????

By 3:50pm he's at the hospital lobby. (It's about a 15 minute drive from Atlantic Heights apartments to "Sosh", Southern Ocean Medical Center.)

It's impossible to explain the actions of a madman but unfortunately it's human nature to try...

 

[NuttMegg]

"There is no, zero, not a scintilla of evidence of sepsis or infectious process" in Corey's body per this well qualified forensic pathologist/exME's review of medical records and the autopsy of Corey. In his opinion, the internal wounds to Corey's heart and liver, the injuries occurred or were inflicted in the last 4 hours of his life. There is no way, iho, that the boy had these injuries at 9 am when the mother returned the boy to CG. And, one portion of liver damage could feasibly but not realistically be attributed to CPR, but not the type of injury on the other part of his liver. Iho the injury to internal heart muscle and to liver were not a result of CPR.

This is extremely interesting testimony, I don't want to repeat any more of it because it's so technical.

This part starts about 1:28:00 in the video, but the 15-20 minutes before that lay the groundwork for how he arrived at his opinions. Then he is cross examined but I haven't watched that yet.

 

[TTF14]

I haven't been able to bring myself to watch this trial, but appreciate reading the updates here. Do we anticipate closing arguments anytime soon?
