A JUDGE says Keli Lane's behaviour was "virtually inexplicable" in sentencing her today to 18 years' jail for the murder of her baby.
In the Supreme Court today, Judge Anthony Whealy said Keli Lane's act of murder was "premeditated but only for a short time", saying it was "done as an act of desperation".
Keli Lane will serve at least 13 years and five months for murder of baby Tegan, plus four years and seven months on parole. She will be eligible for release on May 12, 2023.
He said Lane had "nowhere to turn" and her irrationality and "complexities of her personality" led to her killing baby Tegan.
Lane, in court with her hair dyed dark, reportedly started crying as the Judge Whealy noted her "loving/close relationship with her fourth child", who cannot be named.
Lane, who had two terminations as a teenager, kept three pregnancies and births secret.
She adopted out her first and third babies, but was convicted of murdering Tegan, whose body has never been found.
Lane claimed she handed Tegan over to the infant's father, a man with whom she said she had a brief and secret affair.

Note the bolded. They literally have no evidence that a crime has been commited. All I can think of is the softball episode of The Simpsons, where Steve Sax is arrested by the Springfield police ("You're from New York, aren't you Sax? There's a lot of unsolved murders in New York. But you wouldn't know anything about that, would you Steve?").
