There's a difference between competency to stand trial, and being 'insane' at the time the crime is commited. You can be competent, but still insane. And vice versa. And ultimately, being insane at the time the crime is being commited means you don't hae the mindset necessary to actually be a criminal. Because, for most crimes, to actually commit an offence you need a particular state of mind, and to have actually committed the offence while in that state of mind.
Anyway, my opinion of Mad science has always been a little twinged by the sidebox I stuck on Mackie's page. Sometimes, you just can't control where it takes you, even if it isn't where you want to go. Like, how to turn cool-cuke cores into nuclear weapons...
