Not to make light of the girl's death, but I do think the school is trying to cover their ass a bit. The only thing the judge could have "warned" them about is that the student was awaiting judgement (i.e. not convicted yet) on an attempted rape case. Unless the psych eval showed that "this kid also has clearly homicidal tendencies," the school should have known all they could have known at that point by the kid's mere presence in this school for difficult students.
Maybe it's different in France, but here, the separate schools that a judge assigns you to go to are full of students with prior convictions, psychologists and social workers are standard members of the staff alongside the teachers, and the school knows darn well that they have to monitor students closely and expect horrific behavior from them at every given opportunity. I think the school fucked up and failed to protect this girl, and they're trying to claim it wasn't their fault because they couldn't have known this kid was a delinquent.
