I think since we now have two psychologists stating the complete opposite opinions of this monster (and one was obviously correct while one was not) the bi-polar angle won't matter a bit. The defense might try but no one is going to buy it. People are mis-diagnosed all the time. You think they are going to claim insanity? Having a mood disorder won't excuse murder with special circumstances and possibly lying in wait, especially under these circumstances.
You are minimizing the bi-polar disorder it cant be viewed as just a mood disorder they are more facets to the disorder than just a mood. History of psychological disorders are quite important...and this is not a psychologist...this is a psychiatrist report (a doctor capable of diagnosing and medicating).
I personally have a family member who suffers from a form of bi-polar disorder. The disorder causes such a mess of her life with the ups/downs of severe depression and the maniac cyles...Without getting into speciifics I have to say this disorder prevents her from working, having relationships with people and being productive in society. She is often hospitalized and suffers severe anxiety prior to the manic cycles. While she is not a sexual offender she has had several LE encounters due to this conditon.
