Tyler Robinson — the 22-year-old man who prosecutors say murdered Charlie Kirk — made his first in-person court appearance Thursday.

Robinson’s father, mother and brother were present as both sides were able to come to an agreement with regard to the degree of media access granted throughout the ongoing court proceedings.

Robinson previously appeared in court a few days after the shooting, via video call. Today, he sat in the Provo, Utah courtroom wearing street clothes … a privilege his lawyers fought for in a motion to ditch the jail garb.

As you know, Kirk was shot and killed on the Utah Valley University campus in Orem, UT in September … and, after an extensive manhunt, Robinson turned himself in to authorities.

Robinson allegedly confessed to the crime to his father, who then told a youth pastor who happens to work with the U.S. Marshals Service. Robinson ultimately surrendered at Utah’s Washington County Sheriff’s Office, around 10 PM on Sept. 11, the day after the shooting.

Utah prosecutors charged Robinson with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, and obstruction of justice.

Ethan Hawke is defending actor Paul Dano after Quentin Tarantino absolutely trashed PD’s acting … finding the silver lining for his unjustly maligned pal!

Check it out … on Thursday’s episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the “Blue Moon” star reacted to Quentin’s out-of-nowhere sharp criticism of Dano — telling host Joe Rogan Paul probably didn’t realize just how many people love his work.

ICYMI … last week, Tarantino trashed Dano‘s work, saying the 2007 flick “There Will Be Blood” would have been great without one “big giant flaw” — Dano’s portrayal of the character Eli Sunday.

On Rogan’s podcast, Ethan reasons further … “Anybody that knows Quentin knows he just talks, talks, talks, talks, talk, talks, talks,” while “anybody that knows Paul knows he’s a great, world-class human being.”

And if it helps … Paul wasn’t the only one Quentin decided to publicly rip on — he also said he doesn’t “care” for Matthew Lillard and “can’t stand” Owen Wilson as an actor.

Scott Weiland‘s son is posting some worrying messages to Instagram … claiming he’d rather be dead than live his life as his father did.

Noah Weiland posted to his Instagram story Thursday afternoon … sharing a text post written on a blurry gray background which begins, “I’d rather be DEAD” — a pretty drastic statement, though he tries to qualify it by explaining he’d rather be dead than live as his dad did.

He goes on, “Regardless of all this, it’s been a long journey. Can’t wait to see him again & thank you for all your support along the way. Won’t ever forget this.”

As you may know … Scott was found dead on a tour bus in Minnesota in 2015. Authorities later determined he died from an overdose of cocaine, MDMA — a type of old school Ecstasy — and alcohol.

Noah was just a teenager when Scott passed away … and he’s dealt with similar demons as his father. He was kicked out of the band, Suspect208, due to drug use. Weiland told iHeartRadio the ousting from the group exacerbated his drug problem.

We’ve reached out to Noah about his post … so far, no word back.
