It seems that Hiram Monserrates teeth are as rotten as his reputation. <\/p>\n
The prison-bound ex-pol has won an extra month of freedom for desperately needed dental work on his diseased choppers, court papers reveal. <\/p>\n
Monserrate who was sentenced to two years in the slammer for corruption went to his dentist in mid-January complaining of recent, severe pain, defense lawyer James Neuman wrote. <\/p>\n
Tooth doc Louis Shapiro performed repeated root canal procedures, but Monserrate still needs four more crowns installed, according to the Manhattan federal court filing. <\/p>\n
Dr. Shapiro opines that this treatment is necessary and must be done expeditiously in order to avoid additional damage, Neuman said. <\/p>\n
Upon information and belief, it is very unlikely that this type of work would occur while Mr. Monserrate is in custody. <\/p>\n
Judge Colleen McMahon gave Monserrate until April 11 to start serving his time behind bars. <\/p>\n
The disgraced Democratic lawmaker from Queens pleaded guilty last year to scamming nearly $100,000 in slush funds while serving on the city council in 2006. <\/p>\n
He was booted from the state Senate in 2009 after getting convicted of roughing up his girlfriend, Karla Giraldo, for which he was sentenced to probation. <\/p>\n
