It was a trial which divided a nation and still attracts controversy today. Lindy Chamberlain was convicted of murdering her baby, after she and her husband claimed their daughter had been carried off by a Dingo, or wild dog, during a camping trip to Ayers Rock in 1980.
Six years later the mother was released from jail on appeal when the verdict was dramatically overturned and she was exonerated.
Now, three decades later, the Sydney Daily Telegraph has gained access to the court papers which appear to show it was the women jurors who believed that Lindy was guilty, while four of the male jurors had doubts and had to be persuaded to convict.
The jurors were puzzled by the couple's unemotional behaviour and questioned why they never joined in the search for their daughter's body.
However one of the woman jurors Yvonne Cain says she now feels she sent an innocent woman to jail and has since met Lindy Chamberlain on several occasions forming a remarkable friendship.
