The jury took seven days of deliberations to find the 66-year-old grandmother guilty, following a four-week trial in Victoria's Supreme Court before Justice Lex Lasry. Moran, who was dressed in black for the verdict and was surrounded by three female court security officers, looked down after the jury foreman announced the verdict. Clutching a tissue, she showed little emotion as she rolled out of court in her motorised wheelchair a few minutes after the verdict. During the trial, the court was told that, although Moran did not pull the trigger, she was involved in a joint criminal enterprise with gunman Geoffrey Armour to kill her brother-in-law on June 15, 2009. They rejected the defence's claims that Moran was at Fawkner Cemetery on the day of the killing and, instead, were satisfied that she drove Armour and his friend, Michael Farrugia, to and from Ascot Pasta and Deli Cafe, where the victim was gunned down.

Armour fired seven shots into Mr Moran's upper body and head, before he and Farrugia, who was in the vicinity of the cafe, ran to where Moran was waiting in the getaway car. It can now be revealed that Armour has pleaded guilty to Mr Moran's murder. Farrugia, who has pleaded guilty to manslaughter, testified at the trial that Moran congratulated Armour and patted him on the back after confirming that he had shot her brother-in-law as she drove them from the scene. She then ordered them to remove their clothing and other items - including the murder weapon - so she could "get rid of everything". The items were found by police in a safe, hidden behind a bookshelf, at Moran's home later that night after she was arrested on her way back from dumping the Ford Fairlane getaway car.

But Farrugia said he was told they were on a debt-collection mission that day and, while he expected there might have been a physical confrontation, he did not know a gun would be involved. A shooting attempt on Mr Moran's life three months before he was killed was also carried out by Armour, the jury was told. JUDY MORAN: TIMELINE TO MURDER DECEMBER 18, 1944
