"We should put him in jail because he murdered someone" is not (although it could be IF you also specified your goals, but goals are subjective).
All facts, truth, knowledge and objectivity are conditioned upon a specific FSK.
"he murdered someone"
If the above is uttered by a person or a loose group of people, then is subjective and not objective [as defined].
If the above [X is a convicted murderer] is an official judgment of a criminal court [legal FSK] then it is objective [as defined].
The degree of objectivity will depend in the credibility and reliability of the legal FSK.
This is a total different scenario.Imagine another legal framework which also uses scientific facts but just has entirely different values. Maybe this legal system sentences people to death for heterosexuality
This legal system, however, has a high bar of scientific evidence before convicting someone of heterosexuality. You have to prove conclusively that this person engaged in heterosexual sex before sentencing them to death.
This legal system is based on evidence that's EVEN MORE scientific than our own legal system. Does that make their legal system more objective? More scientific?
In terms of objectivity, the above system will have a higher degree of objectivity than one with similar objectives but not relying on solid scientific evidence, e.g. DNA evidence, etc.
But this objectivity re sentences people to death for heterosexuality is not related to morality at all, but rather to evil.
It would be the same if Hitler were to screen for the DNA of all Jews before killing them, thus ensuring greater objectivity and more scientific.
