Kim Kardashian has been awarded just one euro for the infamous 2016 Paris robbery she says was "deeply traumatic" ... but it sounds like this is the outcome Kim wanted.

A Paris court awarded the compensation on Tuesday -- which was the amount she had asked for -- and recognized her as a victim of the harrowing incident.

Kim and stylist Simone Harouche -- who was at the hotel when the robbery went down -- tell TMZ in a joint statement ... "We are grateful to the French justice system for recognizing us as victims of the terrible events that took place in Paris in 2016. The experience was deeply traumatic, and its impact has stayed with us."

The statement continues ... "Today's decision is not about the compensation, but about accountability and recognition. We are thankful to the Court and everyone who supported us throughout this process, and we hope to now move forward and continue to heal."

The brother of the Lindsay Clancy holdout juror is speaking out ... and he believes religion was NOT a factor in his sibling's decision to single-handly prevent a unanimous not guilty verdict.

He told The Post his brother didn't let his Catholic faith influence his judgment, saying ... "I don't think religion had anything to do with it."

The juror's brother insisted ... "He looked at the case, and he made the call. For me, that's how I would do it. I would just listen to the case with all the evidence, and go from there."

The Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman is taking the death penalty off the table in Nick Reiner’s criminal case ... and it is partly due to his slain parents’ view on executing criminals ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Hochman and his team decided to remove the death penalty for several reasons -- in no small part because Rob and Michele were against the death penalty. 

Before his death, Rob, who was a Democrat and outspoken about his views on politics, praised Erika Kirk for forgiving Tyler Robinson, the man who allegedly killed her husband, Charlie Kirk. 

Nick Reiner won't face the death penalty in his criminal case ... and it seems the public won't be clued in on certain details of the case -- because the Los Angeles County District Attorney says his siblings don't want grand jury testimony released to the public.

Los Angeles D.A. Nathan Hochman spoke to the assembled media outside the Foltz Criminal Justice Center in Downtown Los Angeles Tuesday morning ... confirming our report that his office won't pursue the death penalty.

D.A. Hochman noted his office thoroughly reviewed the case, listened to Nick's siblings Jake and Romy Reiner's desires ... and decided that life without the possibility of parole -- the other max sentence for Nick -- is sufficient.

Thomas Matthew Crooks -- the 20-year-old would-be assassin who shot Donald Trump in the ear -- was cremated just days after he died ... and it appears an unknown individual stepped up to cover the cost.

Documents released to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, and obtained by the New York Post, reveal an "anonymous donor paid for cremation."

According to the NYP, this note appears at the end of an interview with Crooks' dad. Docs also indicate Crooks' dad said he was "retired" while his mother was on leave from work, which may explain why someone else stepped in to cover the high costs.

Like Manson, Davis was not present at the notorious Tate-LaBianca murder scenes in which 7 people were killed by other members of the Manson Family, including film director Roman Polanski's pregnant wife, Sharon Tate.

Hayden Panettiere's boyfriend Brian Hickerson was spotted out for the first time since he and his brother Zach got in a heated altercation with some folks at a South Carolina bar.

Video and photos of Brian outside his family home in Greenville show him seemingly grabbing some food from the porch Sunday, just days after he and Zach got into a wild fight at the Wild Wings Cafe.

As we previously reported, Brian was detained Saturday night after he tossed a chair inside the watering hole ... and video showed the moment chaos erupted. Zach was eventually arrested for disorderly conduct.

Corie Walsh rambled to police about McDonald's and started singing a tune from "The Wizard of Oz" after she allegedly killed her child while paying close attention to the Lindsay Clancy trial.

Walsh, the mother of four in Illinois who is charged with murdering her son, talked to cops after her 2-year-old was found dead in the basement of their family home earlier this month ... and she told them she went to Mickey D's for a breakfast sandwich in the afternoon ... her attorney, Robert Kerr, reportedly told the judge.

That doesn't make much sense ... McDonald's doesn't serve breakfast in the afternoon.

What's more, Walsh's defense says she started singing "Follow The Yellow Brick Road" while talking to investigators.
