It won't help. We have a full trial on video, and there are several videos of the incident. If these fools aren't bots they are NPCs, which is basically the same thing.
Personally I'd completely revamp the defamation laws so you can win damages even as a public figure, even if the defendant was misinformed by someone else. It should literally be illegal to lie about someone in a way that would damage their character - regardless of motive. The free speech protections applied to it in the past were because it was too much of a burden on average townsfolk to not gossip and tell their friends and family what they read in the newspaper, so they shouldn't be held responsible because someone gave them bad info. Today with the Internet at your fingertips, that's NOT ok. Just keep your mouth shut about people if you don't know for sure.
It still wouldn't help repair Kyle's image, but it would be satisfying watching as he knocks down bodies and becomes a billionaire thanks to twitter.
