The jury has ruled in favor of Courtney Love in her 'Twibel' case.

The 49-year-old American singer-songwriter was sued for allegedly libeling a lawyer on Twitter, which was dubbed as "Twibel", but the verdict said that the plaintiff did not prove by clear and convincing evidence that the former wife of Kurt Cobain knowingly made a false statement on Twitter, ABC News reported.

The 'Hole' musician had suggested in a tweet she posted in 2010 that Rhonda Holmes, her lawyer at the time, had taken a bribe when she backed out of a legal battle Love was waging with the managers of her late husband's estate.
