Judy Moran put on a show for the cameras.

With a smile and a wave to the assembled media, the gangland widow known for her blow-waved tresses and flamboyant dress headed off to jail on Wednesday for orchestrating her brother-in-law's execution.

Earlier, she looked down, her face reddened and she clasped a tissue in her hands as a Victorian Supreme Court jury declared it had found her guilty of murdering Des "Tuppence" Moran.

She pursed her red lips and appeared stony-faced in a courtroom packed with lawyers and journalists.

At 66, Moran, who has already buried two husbands and two sons to gangland murders, may now spend the rest of her days behind bars for killing off another Moran.

The jury of nine men and three women accepted that, although she didn't pull the trigger, Moran entered into a pact with gunman Geoffrey "Nuts" Armour to murder the brother of her second husband Lewis Moran.

Jurors deliberated for seven days following a month-long trial, and were given several extensions of time after having trouble reaching a unanimous verdict.DISCLAIMER:Text may be subject to copyright.This blog does not claim copyright to any such text.
