In my opinion Smeagol deserves our pity because its my opinion that the ring drove him mad. There is a kind of split personality going on in his mind, a battle between Smeagol and Gollum.
Gollum is the surviver, the one who could stoop to living deep under a mountin eating raw fish and and the odd Goblin or Orc.
But Smeagol was the poor unfortunate soul to find the evil ring and be corrupted by it. If Frodo (who knew the pain of the ring) could pity him then surely we should also pity him, but to trust him i think not.
Like a Nazúl he is drawn to the ring and as Gandalf himself said "but both loves and hates the ring as he loves and hates himself"
well this is just my opinion and i welcome any debate on wat i have said
