Carnevale, the emergency room nurse at Southern Ocean Medical Center, testified that Gregor showed no emotion when he brought Corey to the medical center in Stafford Township at 3:53 p.m. on the day the boy died. She didn't change that testimony, despite defense attorney Mario Gallucci pointing out to her that the defendant appeared on surveillance footage to be crying in the hallway of the hospital.
"Corey was very sick,'' Carnevale testified, being questioned by Lento
The child mumbled a few words to her and then had a seizure, she said
"Corey seized, and then his heart stopped,'' Carnevale said.
The child was intubated, and medical personal began performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on him, she told the jury. Corey briefly regained a pulse - detected only with equipment designed to recognize otherwise undetectable pulses, but then his heart and breathing stopped again, she said.
Carnevale appeared emotional during her testimony. When Lento asked the witness if she remembered Corey without having to look at his medical records, she responded, "Of course I do, yes.''
She testified that Gregor told her the child's mother was a drug addict, and he did not want her to be contacted.
Carnevale acknowledged under cross-examination that she was a member of "Justice for Corey,'' a Facebook page set up by Corey's mother.
The jury Tuesday also heard testimony from Richard Cicerone, an employee of the state Division of Child Protection and Permanency, who said he fielded a phone call that Gregor placed to the state's child-abuse hotline at 10:02 a.m. on April 2, 2021, the same day the child died.
