She found him guilty — but she really couldn’t blame him.
A juror who convicted a Brooklyn man for making fake 911 calls because he was so irritated by the noise on his Williamsburg block sympathized with the curmudgeon and his frustration.
“He was very irritable from the construction during the day and the nightlife at night,” said the woman, who convicted lifelong bachelor Louis Segna, 53, on Tuesday.
“How would I feel if suddenly in my neighborhood a whole new scene and culture came? I might get more defensive if I was him. I don’t know if I would be making calls like him, but who knows?” said the juror, who asked that her name not be printed.
Segna could get seven years behind bars when he is sentenced Sept. 5 — but jurors thought he would be better served by a psych evaluation and social workers than jail time.
“We wished he could go to a home or something. Him sitting in jail, it’s really a sad story,” the juror said.
She also said the jury wasn’t informed he had made a lot more calls than the four he was charged with.
“When the court officers said you’re free to go, we started Googling his name and discovered he had made over 400 calls. We were like, ‘Wow, poor guy, the noise really did bother him,’ ” she said.
But the phone calls diverted police from real emergency calls.
“There’s some people in front of a black van and there’s a guy showing them a gun,” Segna said in a call he made to 911 on Nov. 3, 2012, about a supposed incident on the street near Bedford Avenue and North Seventh Street.
“Why’s he showing them a gun? Is he arguing with them?” the dispatcher asked.
“I have no idea. I was going by so I called the police . . . I don’t know if they know each other or what,” he stuttered.
Cops found no gunman.
Segna had a big problem with Konditori, a Swedish coffee shop and hipster hangout on the ground floor of his North Seventh Street building. He even filed a lawsuit against the café’s owners in 2012.
Segna — who placed the phony calls over two years until his arrest in January 2013 — was collared when NYPD Deputy Inspector Terence Hurson recognized Segna’s distinctive stutter and voice on a recorded 911 call.
“[He] admitted to fabricating some stories to get us there faster,” Hurson said. “And he admitted to us, ‘It’s the only way I can get you guys to come.’ ”
