Dismissed juror says she would’ve voted to convict Malcolm Smith

An alternate juror in the corruption trial of former state Sen. Malcolm Smith says she believes the disgraced Queens Democrat spearheaded a failed $200,000 ꦓbribery scheme to get th🥀e Republican line in the 2013 mayoral election.

Susan Liller, 56, of White Plains, says she sides with the government and would have voted to convict both Smith and former Queens Republican Vice Chairman Vincent Tabone on corruption charges if she had become a “regular” juror.

“I went in there thinking that each was guilty by association, then flipped back and forth, but with the final summation … my personal opinion is ‘yes,’ they are guilty of each and every charge,” Liller told The Post on Friday.

“They both knew what was going on. They were both aware of the bribe♊s🍒 — Smith especially.”

She made her remarks shortly after being dismissed from t♓he nearly four-week trial by White Plains federal Judge Kenneth Karas as the selected jury began deliberations.

To get on the GOP line, Smith — once one of the state’s top Democrats — needed the support of at least three of the five borough Republican committees. Queens allegedly was se♕cured through Tabone and The Bronx through former Bronx GOP Chairman Joseph “Jay” Savino. He never got the third vote.

Smith, the feds say, turned to Moses Stern — a crooked Rockland County developer-turned-federal witness — and an undercover federal agent for money and h𒁏elp pulling off the 🎀botched scheme. In turn, Smith allegedly promised them $500,000 in transportation funds for a project in Spring Valley, NY.

“[Smith] was the one who asked for the meeting with Stern,” Liller said. “He knew what the deal was.”

Smith claims he’s a victim of entrapment.

Another co-defendant, former City Councilman Dan Halloran (D-Queens), was convicted in July of pocketing $20,500 in ca🅰sh bribes for acting as an intermediary who set up the cross-party negotiations.

The feds say Smith plotted with wire-wearing Ste൲rn and the agent for $40,000 in cash bribes to be paid to Tabone and Savino. The undercover agent testified that he personally handed Tabone a $25,000 cash bribe.

Besides bribery, Tabone is also facing witness tampering charges. The feds say Tabone on May 23 confronted 🌼Philip Ragusa, who then chaired the borough’s GOP, at his home and tried to convince him not to testify when Tabone and Smith were on trial last year. That court proceeding resulted in a June mistrial following the feds’ late release of more than 92 hours of recordings.

Ragusa, wh🦂o was never charged with wrongdoing, passed away in June from leukemia.

Savino copped a pl🍌ea in November 2013 to accepting a $15,000 bribe and became a federal witness.

Smit🐠h faces up to 45😼 years in prison, and Tabone faces up to 30 years.
