New York State Senator Hirman Monserrate is expected in State Supreme Court in Queens on Friday morning for sentencing.
Monserrate was found guilty in October of a misdemeanor in the assault trial of his girlfriend
The Democrat from Queens could spend up to one year in prison for dragging his bleeding girlfriend through his apartment lobby in a violent scene caught on security cameras.
Monserrate was acquitted of intentionally smashing his girlfriend's face with a glass. The wound near her eye required about 40 stitches; both said it was accidental.
Some lawmakers have called for Monserrate's resignation.
