State Senator Kevin Parker (D-Brooklyn) will not be going to jail. Instead the misdemeanor criminal mischief charges he was found guilty of in December (you might recall him roughing up a Post photog and breaking their camerain May 2009) will be sending the hot-tempered senator to anger management classes. He also has to pay a $1,000 fine, pay another $672 in equipment costs to the Post, and spend the next three years on probation.

Leaving court the 44-year-old told reporters he was "glad it was all over." But is it? If Parker had been convicted of the top charge he was facing (assault) he would have faced automatic expulsion from the Senate. Luckily for him, a jury cleared him of that charge. But the Republican-controlled Senate is still expected to make a bid at ousting him soon enough.
