NEW YORK – A New York Senate committee has met to decide whether a state senator convicted of assaulting his girlfriend should remain in office.
 
The special committee adjourned into an executive session Tuesday without announcing its decision on the fate of Sen. Hiram Monserrate.
 
The Democrat from Queens was sentenced earlier this month to probation for injuring his girlfriend by dragging her through his apartment lobby in December 2008. He could have been jailed for up to a year for misdemeanor assault.
 
The scheduled meeting was the committee's last before making its recommendations. The nine senators and a special counsel have been reviewing trial and grand jury records.
 
Monserrate did not attend. A telephone message left for his lawyer wasn't immediately returned.
