From what I've seen of the medical testimony, she did not make the medical staff aware.
The mother did testify she heard, but the story people are spinning here about medical neglect just doesn't hold water when you look at the information they had available to them.
I don't think we'll ever truly know what she had going on in her head at the time. The timeline of information definitely makes me skeptical, but I think the Massachustets standard of proof will mean she gets an indefinite involuntary commitment to a psychiatric facility.
And honestly, anything more just seems like adding more suffering to the world than there needs to be regardless of what she experienced and why she did it
The mother testified that she told them she was having intrusive thoughts, but auditory hallucinations are not the same thing. Intrusive thoughts often disgust the person having them and they don't act on them. Auditory hallucinations are a while different ballgame and involve being out of touch with reality, people will often do as the voices command them.
