For me it’s more the level of evidence than is this murder particularly bad. All murders are bad.

Thats great in theory, but in practice its impossible to legislate. Where do you draw the line for sufficient evidence? There will eventually be case right at the margin, where some people believe there is no doubt and others aren't so sure. You can't draft a law with an acceptable bright line.
