I agree with this interpretation. There is nothing in the sources contradicting it.
Actually: There is no statament in the primary sources giving that the scream should have come from the court.

And now we will look closer on the primary sources from the police investigation and the inquest (you find the transcriptions of them in The Ultimate Jack the Ripper Sourcebook by Evans & Skinner):
What statements do the sources give us as to the estimates of the location of the scream?
Prater (inquest source) says it "seemed to come from close by". (She says nothing about the location in the police report).
Lewis (police investigation source) says it "seemed to be not far away,...".
Lewis (inquest source) says it "seemed to come from the direction of deceaseds room".

But I would think if that were the case she would have more time to scream out more and or struggle.
I think the broken window would be enough to make it seem like it came from the court.
With the cuts to the corner of her bed sheet and possible defensive wounds point that she was attacked in bed, with the killer possibly putting the sheet over her face before cutting her throat, giving her just a small amount of time to cry out.
