A NSW Supreme Court jury has found Mercedes Corby was defamed by the Seven Network in a series of interviews with her former best friend.
Her claim related to three Today Tonight programs and one news bulletin, broadcast across Australia in February last year.
Stuart Littlemore QC, for Ms Corby, alleged the programs conveyed defamatory meanings, including that his client was a drug smuggler, a drug dealer and posed a threat to the safety of Ms Power.
After a hearing lasting almost five weeks, the jury of three men and one woman retired to consider its verdict about 12.30pm (AEST) today.
After six hours, the jury found Seven's defence of truth had failed on all but one of the defamatory imputations, namely that Ms Corby had possessed marijuana.
Ms Power shook her head and was visibly upset after hearing the verdict, and had to be calmed by those around her.
As they left the court, Power shouted "liar" in Ms Corby's direction, as Ms Corby embraced her lawyers.
Outside court, Ms Corby told reporters it had been a difficult time.
"I've still got more to do but I'm really happy with the outcome," she said.
The parties will have to return to court on Friday to address the imputation found to be true.
During the hearings, Mr Littlemore said his client was "an ordinary Australian" subjected to a "trial by media" solely because her sister, Schapelle, was "locked up in a stinking jail in Bali".
Schapelle Corby is serving 20 years in prison after being convicted of smuggling 4.1kg of cannabis into Indonesia inside a bodyboard bag in 2004.
Seven paid Ms Power $100,000 for the interviews and also gave the 35-year-old two all expenses paid overseas holidays.
In her evidence, Ms Power said she had seen Ms Corby, 33, use marijuana, speed, cocaine and shabu - a type of methamphetamine.
The jury was shown two photos of Ms Corby with a pipe, shaped like a penis, which Ms Power said was used to smoke marijuana.
Ms Power also alleged Ms Corby had admitted to her that she had internally concealed marijuana and smuggled it into Bali, and had asked her to do the same.
When she took the stand, Ms Corby denied the smuggling allegations, rejected claims she took cocaine, shabu, and speed, and also denied selling marijuana or speed.
She said her drug use was limited, and her own letters referring to her drug use were written when she was "young and immature" and trying to look "cool".
Mr Littlemore contended Ms Power's brain had been "fried" by her own drug use, which the court was told had rendered her delusional.
