BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — The judge who sent Lindsay Lohan to jail has removed herself from the case after a prosecutor complained she improperly contacted a rehab center about the actress’ court-ordered treatment.

Los Angeles County district attorney spokeswoman Jane Robison says Judge Marsha Revel recused herself Friday afternoon. Robison says the contact with the rehab center was among several instances where Revel improperly communicated with participants and experts without the prosecutor present.
