Insanity pleas doesn't work that way- it requires one to not be conscious of what they were doing, not just 'killed someone on purpose but is nuts.' Joker's version of insanity doesn't qualify.
Also, they still end up with the person incarcerated, usually for longer than the normal length of time associated with the charges.

He needs to be unconsicous that what he is doing is wrong, which, in some cases, he actually is unaware of (see Killing Joke). As far as he was concerned (IIRC) he was actually doing Gordon a favour.
A good precis, if you're that way inclined, can be found here:

Joker is fully aware people don't like being murdered, poisoned, etc.. He often uses fear and intimidation, he doesn't think people *like* what he does.
You could maybe write off *some* of his crimes that way, but definitely not all of them.

Sorta partway between Daredevil and Punisher. She kills villains.
