Their insanity is more their personality than a mitigating factor, and the whole "normal people" thing isn't actually developed enough for it to be considered an excuse, like how The Batman's Joker is presented a possible tragic backstory, but nothing ever actually comes of it and it ultimately ends as little more than a few throwaway lines. Nobody's born evil, after all; it's the Monsters that choose to become evil even if they previously weren't.
