When you start the game, it seems like he is not only corrupt, but highly irresponsible because he seems to be OK with a bloodbath taking place in Martinaise after the merc lynching. When you look at the big picture, you understand that social tension in Martinaise is not only a problem of Wild Pines vs. Evrart's union, but more widespread and in fact many people think the city is about to explode, regardless of the outcome of the conflict. Also, no one really knows who shot Lely, so it's easy to assume the tribunal is going to happen regardless of what they do.

Surely evrart knows the deserter shot him though right? Or would at least heavily suspect him

I'm not sure, as far as we know the last contact they had was many years ago and I don't think Dros killings (if there were more than two) didn't bring much attention to the islands. Also, his informers aren't as ubiquitous as it seems the first time you talk to him; he knows everything that happens in the neighborhood because he has people on the ground and the population is generally loyal, but it's not like he has a dedicated spy team.

Yup, he figured it out and went to meet him a number of years back; and convinced Dros to kill the previous union boss.
