It's the one ring. It turns everyone "evil" given enough time. Normal people would have no chance to resist it for even moments. Unless there was much more given in the books than movies, which I imagine there was. If Smeagol really was evil, then wouldn't his brother have been prepared for sudden murderous actions?
