Also, Zero had a chance to let his voice be heard, give his side of it. I mean, he's led them through many battles and victories, most of them acknowledge that they'd be dead without him and no one else could have taken them that far. I believe they would have listened to Zero if that's what he wanted. But HE made the decision to have as less people affiliated with him when he went down as possible. Only Kallen realised it in the end, that he did it to take all the blame for his own.

Here's the thing, and it extends beyond the betrayal itself. Ohgi proved to be hypocritical on the following counts: 1) crying foul for being used as a pawn, and then using Kallen as bait and using Lelouch as a bargaining chip for Japan's freedom, 2) calling out Lelouch for abandoning the BKs during the Black Rebellion, even though he himself went AWOL on the Black Knights and acknowledged Villetta's desire to kill him as he was making a love martyr out of himself, and that the peace treaty with Britannia for Japan meant that the BKs would be abandoning the UFN in their campaign to liberate the world from Britannian tyranny, and 3) evidently taking issue with Lelouch secretly being a former Britannian prince, all the while trusting the word of the most dangerous of the current royal children, and a Britannian agent with whom he had a secret tryst. And said spy, Viletta, had no business testifying against Lelouch on Ohgi's behalf like that to begin with, especially with the cursory geass evidence that was presented, when she had been part of the OSI detail under direct order of the Emperor, and may very well have known that geass only works once per person and doesn't implicitly compel people into complete obedience.
Regarding the Black Knights, they were ready to open fire and kill Lelouch on the spot, taking Kallen down as well, fearing she may have been under geass as well. He knew he was unable to convince them, especially after noticing it was all Schneizel's doing.
Basically speaking, it was an unholy Molotov Cocktail of Swiss Messenger (Ohgi, and arguably Villetta), What An Idiot, and Kangaroo Court.

He said good karma, not bad karma. Shirley was one of the few innocent people of CG, and did not deserve to die in the least.
