Since Justice William Erlbaum found State Senator Hiram Monserrate guilty of reckless assault when he slashed girlfriend Karla Giraldo with a broken glass, but found him not guilty of intentionally slashing her, she wants the judge to lift the order of protection that prevents her from being with Monserrate. The Post reports that her lawyer wrote to the judge saying the couple would like to resume their "intimate relationship ... without further unnecessary interruption or delay."
What's more Giraldo's lawyer also points out, "Furthermore, given the intense level of public scrutiny which currently surrounds Sen. Monserrate, there is no realistic danger that he will cause future injury to Ms. Giraldo." Hear that, media—you're apparently keeping Giraldo safe! Last week, Giraldo told the Daily News that they love each other.
And the Monserrate verdict is mentioned in the NY Times' latest editorial about the putrid state of Albany:
Even members of the ethically challenged Legislature know that their ethics commission is looking the other way. When Senator Hiram Monserrate was convicted of assaulting his girlfriend, the voters’ outrage was so high that Senator John Sampson, the Democratic conference leader, decided to bypass the commission. He established a public ad hoc group of senators to decide Mr. Monserrate’s fate.We hope that it will have the focus, muscle and gumption to call for kicking Mr. Monserrate out of the Legislature — and that the Senate will agree. Meanwhile, Mr. Monserrate has been raising money to pay his attorneys’ fees and seems to have no plans to make his contributors public. He should be required to do so. The only word for this secrecy is outrageous."





what a dumb bitch.. -_-
Word.
no woman can resist the lure of The Monserrate.
What woman can resist the tender, passionate and so gentle way Monserrate puts delicate pieces of glass into her face?
"But, he didn't really mean it. He just gets out of control sometimes. He always says he's sorry. And he said he's going to change, that this was the last time."
yeah right until he kills her
That's usually how it works.
she needs to move on and find someone who will treat her with dignity and respect
Yeah, but it's the Power Trip that keeps her coming back. It's just a matter of time before she's maimed or killed.
Um, gross. I'm sure there's a public interest to be served in keeping them from breeding.
She wants to be "intimate" and I want to "barf."
Fine, let them be together. But the next time and the next time and the next time he does it, she doesn't get to waste any public resources ie cops and courts to come to her rescue. She got up on the stand when she had her chance and lied for him. So let him kill her, it's what she chose.
