Considering that Bertholdt is responsible for the fall of wall Maria (and the consequences of it), that he's reponsible for Trost's collapse, that he's responsible for Armin nearly dying, I highly doubt that they'd have let him live. He's far too dangerous to be kept alive, they needed to turn someone into a pure Titan and eat him.

As a person, Bertholdt was a good guy, and was forced to do what he did. His death wasn't satisfying at all, because most of us liked him, I don't think that anyone cheered his death: "Yes! They killed the Colossus Titan!".

I think that if he was given a chance, Bertholdt would have redeemed himself (he really hated what he has done and thought he deserved to die for his crimes), but how would he have done it? By fighting with Paradise against Marley? That'd mean destroyinh the country he's grown in, killing his family, and thousands of innocent people. I don't think he's redeemable, there's nothing he could do for this, sadly.
