NJ mom wishes ‘nothing but the worst’ for dad who killed son, 6, by forcing him on treadmill

New Jersey father Christopher Gregor, who was found guilty of killing his son by forcing him to run on a treadmill, was hit with 25 years in prison Friday.

Gregor, 32, told the court at sentencing that he didn't know his son had suffered a serious medical issue after the exertion, and insisted that the treadmill punishment did not lead to his death. "Corey was and still is my life, my world and my everything. What this monster did was pathetic, disgusting, and I wish him nothing but the worst," Christopher Gregor is shown forcing his son, Corey Micciolo, to run on a treadmill. The boy later died.

"I want to assure you that on April 2, I did nothing to cause Corey’s passing," Gregor said in a statement in court, according to Law and Crime. "I didn’t hurt my son. I loved him and I still do. I regret not bringing him to the hospital sooner. I didn’t know how sick he was. I didn’t know. I just thought he was tired."
