If a medical condition causes dinnertime to commit a criminal act, it can negate guilt. If the medical condition isn't the cause if the unlawful act, treatment for that disorder probably will not be an acceptable replacement for more punishment type consequences. An attorney may be able to negotiate a no-jail time plea agreement, regardless of the bi-polar issue. A prosecutor (and a judge) may be persuaded to not jsil the defendant, if treatment for the bi-polar issue makes jail, probation or community service would be overly burdensome. You should consult directly with a traffic attorney, in the area, soon.

Good luck
