Former water polo champion Keli Lane has been found guilty of murdering her newborn baby more than 14 years ago.
The 35-year-old had pleaded not guilty to murdering two-day old Tegan Lane after they left Sydney's Auburn hospital on September 14 1996.
The NSW Supreme Court jury of six women and six men retired a week ago and delivered its verdict this afternoon.
Immediately after the murder verdict Lane screamed out and fell to the floor of the dock, her mother who was in the public gallery, also sobbed.
Earlier the jury found Lane guilty of three counts of making a false statement on oath in relation to documents dealing with her adopting out two other babies.
During the trial the jury had heard Lane was motivated by her Olympic ambitions and also wanted to continue her active social and sex life.
It also heard Lane had told police she handed over Tegan to the baby's father, a man with whom she'd had a brief and secret affair.
But the crown contended the named father was a fictitious person and she murdered the infant as she didn't want the responsibility of a child.
