Here, we have a nice one running in the news: rape/murder of a girl by a minor (17).
After a psychiatric consult, the guy was placed by a judge in a school for difficult students after a few months in jail to await judgement about attempted rape (another case). That's where he met the girl he killed last week. The school wasn't aware of his situation until too late. He'll probably get something like 30 years with no parole for 22 years (that's the maximum for a minor). The attempted rape case will be judged but it won't add anything to his time: jail sentences are not cumulative in France. The main problem is that the judge did not see fit to warn the school principal about the situation. And it is raising quite a fuss.
