Treadmill Abuse Murder Trial

S1, EP31 "Dr. Michael Baden"
Jurors got a lecture from the defense's forensic pathology expert. After reviewing case notes and the autopsy report, Dr. Michael Baden concluded Corey Micciolo most likely died of an infection and not blunt-force trauma, as the State asserted. Dr. Baden's expertise in this case was three-fold. One, forensic pathology. Two, child abuse. And three, blunt-force trauma.
S1, EP32 "A Second Medical Opinion"
A second medical opinion to how six-year-old Corey Micciolo was relayed to the jury. On the stand was the Defense's forensic pathologist, Dr. Michael Baden, who happened to specialize in child abuse and blunt force trauma. None of which he claimed defendant, Christopher Gregor, did to Corey to lead to his death. The process and results of conducting an autopsy was made clear to jurors.
S1, EP33 "Deadly And Rapid Pnuemonia"
Cross-examination began on the Defense's medical expert. Dr. Michael Baden testified in detail that Corey Micciolo most likely died of a lung inflammation and not as a result of physical abuse at the hands of his doctor. Dr. Baden not only explained how six-year-old Corey died but how he sustained the injuries he received. He claimed the six-year-old died of a sudden, rapid pneumonia and the lacerations to his heart, lung, and liver were due to vigorous cpr applied on him to save his life.
S1, EP34 "Closing Arguments"
Closing arguments began after the Defense rested their case arguing to the jury why Christopher Gregor did not kill Corey Micciolo, his six-year-old son. During the closing arguments in his lead attorney brought jurors back to the beginning of the family drama Corey was living. The defense reminded the jury that the defendant came into Corey's life when he was just five years old and while his mother was battling an illicit drug addiction.
S1, EP30 "Arresting Officer To Renowned Pathologist"
The police officer who arrested Christopher Gregor testified in his defense. Nearly a year after Corey Micciolo died, the defendant was arrested and charged for child endangerment and murder. Next, a world-renowned forensic pathologist testified for the defense. Dr. Michael Baden, known for his work in famous autopsies like JFK and Martin Luther King, Jr., was consulted by Christopher Gregor's attorneys. The aim was to bring to light how Corey may not have been killed.
S1, EP29 "Health Specialist Under Cross-Examination"
Jurors learned about how a child could get a lung infection. The Defense claimed that's how Corey Micciolo tragically died in his father's care. The State wanted to push back on that argument claiming instead his father's ongoing physical abuse led to Corey's death. Christopher Gregor's attorney challenged the expertise of the State's pediatrician who happened to specialize in infectious disease. She argued to jurors that six-year-old Corey didn't die of an infection.
