The obvious verdict was "not guilty by reason of insanity," and I've been on psychotropic medications ever since.
My life with bipolar has been like a Boeing 727 force landing in downtown Manhattan.

No kidding. Sorry to hear that. I've said some crazy things sometimes and am fortunate it never got me arrested. Said them through the years and at my last job which owner was/had been mayor for 25+ years. Of course he had connections. I did something (non threatening) and he fired me. He then told me he thought I was bipolar. Long story short, I eventually started treatment and am accepting it. My hardest part is how to survive financially from here on out.
