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.
Yes, he called their mother while he was shooting them and said "Merry Fucking Christmas", then left a voicemail on the daughters phone saying something along the lines of I'm sorry you were associated with your mom, she's a horrible bitch.
Also, I believe he didn't pull the mental health card until his sentencing came up, to avoid death penalty.
