When the laws were made for the different degrees of murder, attention was paid to just how evil different types of murder were.

I think this is a statement yoiu will have to back up with proof.
In terms of law evil has strong prescriptive elements, evoking the necessity to destroy--or at the very least severely punish--the evildoers.
According to Kant, the phrase "man is evil" means that although man is conscious of the moral law, he has nevertheless adopted into his maxim the occasional deviation there from. This tendency can be called a natural propensity to evil. Kant also thought, that man must be held responsible for it, since it is ultimately self-caused. Which gives justification to lawmakers to punish those they see as evil doers.
But "evil" is mostly used as a term of condemnation rather than an analytical concept,
Serious efforts to define the term evil have found it to be essentially incomprehensible, and has no meaning in terms of legal definition.

Well looking back among other posts here it would seem most do hold the view that evil is subjective. So OK i'll bight, lets here it.
