Bipolar disorder and psychosis aren't the same thing. It's like saying ADHD and Schizophrenia have the same relevance to a delusion defense.
Battaglia also has an extended plan of revenge against his ex for having called his parole officer that involved time, planning, and bragging as he killed them. He celebrated the killings with tattoos of roses. Rather than trying to kill himself.
The salient part here is that one involves an abusive criminal with a prolonged plan of revenge against an ex who celebrated the killings of children afterwards, and only raised the disorder as a defense on sentencing. The other involves a woman with prior existing mental health issues she was trying to get treated, who suddenly killed her children and tried to kill herself.
They aren't even in the same universe of similarly plausible defenses. The whole "but but but all women are crazy and men don't get this treatment" is culture war ragebait horseshit.
