Trolley Problem modification 3 tracks 1 lever: Degrees of immorality when it comes to killing

I was having a discussion with a friend about the levels of murder and morality.

This led to the thought:

If one is decides they are going to kill yet they kill fewer people than someone else, then they are still morally wrong but "less bad."

Some thoughts from the discussion

1. Killing 1 is morally better than killing 5 and both are better than killing 100 etc

2. A modification to the trolley problem

There is a trolley on the tracks and there is 3 separate divisions. Track A is empty. Track B has 1 person on it. Track C has 5 people on it.

A lever that defaults to the neutral position controls the rails and can be pulled halfway or all the way with more effort, but once released goes back to the original position.

• By not pulling the lever the train stays on track A and no one is hit. -Pulling the lever half way and holding it changes the trolley to track B killing 1. -Pulling all the way changes the trolley to Track C killing 5.

If someone pulls the lever halfway are they "less bad" than one who pulls it all the way? Is "bad" even a spectrum? If so is it always a spectrum?

Any insights on this?
