Is “opinion versus fact” relevant to that example? My impression is that Kyle Rittenhouse wouldn’t have a strong defamation case against a random person tweeting that he’s a murderer, but the reason isn’t that “it’s a statement of opinion.” The reason is that it’s a high profile and controversial homicide case, and it would be very difficult for Rittenhouse to show that that the random Twitter user had “actual malice.”
