I'm saying lay off the real-world references because there are cases of people blowing their deeds out of proportion.

You want a real world reference? This is like a case of a hung jury. Unless the votes are unanimous then you can't say without a doubt that people believe the guilt.

Also it wasn't a "single act". Orochimaru decided to ignore Tobi who was fighting the alliance to go help a dying Sasuke. Then there's fact he decided not to spectate and fight side by side with his old sensei.

Someone who is tragedy inspired to do things is not just "some monster" like you're making them out to be.
