Good and evil are arbitrary concepts that are not formally recognized by courts (am I wrong?)
I'm pretty sure court judgements have use moralistic statements and refered to things like "respect" or "evil", "inhuman". Judges are humans, not compilers.
In fact a search of the British court judgements shows many instances of "evil" being referred to in judgements ( http://www.bailii.org/cgi-bin/sino_search_1.cgi?sort=rank&query=evil&method=boolean&highlight=1&mask_path=/ http://www.bailii.org/cgi-bin/sino_search_1.cgi?sort=rank... ).
It's the legal ambiguity that is the problem.
