No. I think the brain of the psychopath is hardwired from birth. By hardwired, I mean the brain's biochemistry and "circuitry", if you like, are crisscrossed or constructed in such a way that the end result is an evil being with no conscience or remorse.
No, it's not an excuse for sin.

Being a "psychopath" (an archaic term for an Antisocial Personality Disorder) is the result of mental illness. It's screwed up brain chemistry, coupled with a lousy upbringing, poverty, or abuse.
"Sin" is an abstract concept coined by religion to control people by playing upon fears of "eternal damnation" in a mythical place. No relation.

Do you mean and excuse? Sure, it's an excuse for sin. It doesn't mean that we have to accept the excuse. There wouldn't be any psycopath's if there wasn't any sin.
Here is a list of things that wouldn't exist if there was no sin in the world:
Mental Retardation, SIDS, AIDS, myopia, Krone's disease, anemia, diaherrea, heat stroke, cancer, bronchitis, hearing loss, death, hospitals, suffering, pain, dying, Parkenson's Disease, Lou Gehrig's Disease, etc.
So what I am saying is that sin is not only some things that we do, it the very thing that can cause us to be a stillborn. It's all those things. It's our nature to be messed up.

Many people sin and never become psychopaths. Sociopaths feel the laws do not apply to them and they can do whatever they please. Sin is a natural result.
None of us may judge. Only the Lord knows if their internal brain chemistry left room for them to make choices or not.

If the psychopathy is a result of a mental illness, then the p[erson is not committing a sin.

It's not either in my opinion. They are just here doing what they came to earth to do in life. Sad and sick. That's just the cycle of life.
Everyone see's something than the next person and there is no way of knowing what they see in their life. Of coarse it is not what you or I see. What will you be like in 20 years if your mother, or father locked you in a dark and freezing basement and fed you stale bread and water, left you alone, raped and beat you. Would you see life the same as you do in your eyes now?

it's a result of improper connections of synapses in the brain, and chemical imbalances.

A result.
Not the result of his sin, but of man's sin.
