Mrs Brooks was accused of retrieving boxes, with the help of Ms Carter, from the News International archive relating to her time as editor of the News of the World and the Sun. |
She was also accused, along with her husband and Mr Hanna, of hiding personal computers from the police. |
The phone-hacking investigation found numerous allegations relating to the period between 2000 and 2006. |
In court the jury heard: |
Kate Middleton's phone was hacked 155 times by Mr Goodman, who was previously jailed for hacking |
Coulson said "brilliant" when a reporter played him a hacked voicemail left for James Bond star Daniel Craig by actress Sienna Miller |
Coulson told a journalist investigating a story on celebrity Calum Best to "do his phone" |
former England football manager Sven-Goran Eriksson's phone was repeatedly hacked |
Jurors also listened to recordings of voicemail messages left by former Labour cabinet minister David Blunkett. |
Former Home Secretary Mr Blunkett has told the BBC revelations about his private life in the News of the World almost caused him to have a nervous breakdown. |
"The honest truth is I don't know how I managed to continue doing the job in the way I did," he said. |
'Thousands' targeted |
Five other people have already pleaded guilty to conspiracy to hack in relation to the charges faced by Mrs Brooks and Coulson. |
Glenn Mulcaire, a private investigator, former news editors Greg Miskiw and James Weatherup and reporters Dan Evans and Neville Thurlbeck had previously admitted their role in the plot to get stories by intercepting voicemails. |
The investigation found that Mulcaire had been tasked to obtain private information by hacking mobile phone voicemails to uncover leads for stories. |
Police estimate that he targeted approximately 5,500 people and that at least 1,000 of them were "definite victims". |
Police have told 3,500 people that their names featured in notes that Mulcaire kept of his work for the News of the World. |
Speaking after the verdicts were delivered, Mr Cameron said he took "full responsibility" for employing Coulson and was "extremely sorry". |
Labour leader Ed Miliband said the government had been "tainted" by the appointment of Mr Coulson. |
"I think David Cameron has very, very serious questions to answer, because we now know he brought a criminal into the heart of Downing Street," he said. |
