A Brooklyn jury yesterday found state Sen. Kevin Parker guilty of damaging a Post photographer’s car and camera after the lensman snapped pictures of him outside the politician’s Flatbush home.
Parker was convicted of two misdemeanor counts of criminal mischief in the May 2009 attack and faces up to two years in prison.
“I have always maintained my innocence,” Parker said at court.
The jury cleared Parker of intentionally damaging and attempting to steal William Lopez’s camera — felonies that would have meant automatic expulsion from the Senate had he been convicted.
As a result, the jury never considered the top charge — assault during the commission of a felony — which would have sent him to prison for up to seven years.
