  Why would it be a good excuse? Regardless of whether you have free will or
not, you can still feel pain. If you make bad things, you are very probably
going to suffer some physical or mental pain as a consequence (eg. sent to
jail or whatever). It makes no sense to go to jail just because you think
you have no free will.
