Hobbit = man.
Getting back on topic. I don't think that Eru judges souls. From what I've read (which is less than many) it seems that if a soul is good it does what it is supposed to do (goes to Mandos and thence beyond), but if it is tainted it decides (if that is the word) to not go to Mandos. Once free from his body he may have been free from the grip of the ring, not to mention that there was no more ring to hold him.
