IRL the person was not charged with any wrongdoing.

However, fictionalized, and in specific the 1997 (DiCaprio) flick, he may have been a jerk, but not wicked, Malicious, or Evil. Not a Villain.

How most people act in situations of extreme crises should be considered much like Possessed/Brainwashed… DURING the crisis while frightened and panicked they are not themselves.

However, in cases where the situation stretches out over a longer period of time, THEN any malicious traits may be acted upon.

For example, in an earthquake, people who tramp over others while trying to get to safety do not count. However, once the crest of crisis is past but the situation still ongoing, in this example, trying to dig out of collapsed places, working way down from upper floors of skyscrapers, etc, THEN their narratives MIGHT show us exactly how they treat their fellow man. Like constantly putting their own safety over that of others especially if obvious they calculate how odds might go for or against their own chances of personal survival.

In this case, a ship's officer tasked with the survival of a group such as in lifeboats, MIGHT seem to be extreme in their decisions and actions WITHOUT being Wicked.
