Is there any way for your statement (which has many bold assertions) to lead anywhere but "We're all just victims of our genes"?
Your materialistic assumptions are a wonderful way to do science, but a terrible way to be human or govern.

Maybe that we are influenced far more by uncontrollable environmental factors than by our "freely* willed" decisions.
>Free will: the power of acting without the constraint of necessity or fate;
When you are hungry, you need to eat. But if you don't have any money and take an apple from the market you will be punished. So technically in this situation, the person acted out of necessity and therefore did not act out of free will.
In that case the perpetrator is just as much victim, which alters the entire balance of justice, and creates all kinds of ugly rabbit holes to deal with with respect to societal effects and morality.
2. Morality is irrelevant. We don't have free will either.
