Here's the deal ...

10:29 AM PT -- Tyler Robinson said he regretted killing Charlie Kirk, even crying in the aftermath of the controversial commentator's shocking death ... according to Robinson's romantic partner, Lance Twiggs.

After 4 days of arguing in court, a Utah judge has ruled that confessional videos of Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin -- 23-year-old Tyler Robinson -- as well as alleged text messages, will be shown publicly today ... and TMZ is streaming live from the courtroom where the exhibits will be shown.

While some video will be redacted ... the public will now be privy to what Tyler admitted to police upon arrest ... as well as what his roommate -- Lance Twiggs -- said in an interview.

The ruling comes after Charlie's widow, Erika Kirk, urged the court to make the evidence public.

Attorney Ben Crump seems to think the state of Mississippi is trying to sweep the death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells under the rug ... and he's not going to let that happen.

Ben joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday ... and the attorney was adamant the contradictions in Nolan's case can't justify investigators ruling out foul play ... especially because of Mississippi's history of "racial killings where no one was held accountable."

Tyler Robinson said he regretted killing Charlie Kirk and cried over the controversial commentator's shocking death ... at least according to Robinson's romantic partner.

Lance said in the interview that he asked Tyler if texts he sent the previous day -- in which he allegedly confessed to the murder -- were true ... and he says Tyler told him they were.

He says Tyler began to cry ... and told him he wished he hadn't killed Kirk. Worth noting, Robinson has not yet entered a plea in the case.

Secondly, Hayut cannot seek reimbursement of legal costs or attorney fees.
