because Bipolar can cause us to do things we normally would not do.

Having BP does not mean you are psychotic. Being psychotic does not mean you are BP.. But those that are psychotic would not be in touch with reality. Agreed. So I understand what you are saying. People with psychosis *irrespective* of whether they are BP or not should be given special consideration.
But does this adequately explain all with BP who commit criminal acts? I think this is the more useful question. FWIW
