Lindsay Lohan Judge Marsha Revel

Judge Revel Removes Herself From Lindsay Lohans’ Case

Lindsay Lohan will probably be happy about this. The judge that Lindsay and her family were certain had it in for her has just removed herself from the case after allegations she improperly contacted “participants and experts” involved. Lawyers complained that Judge Marsha Revel was taking it upon herself to make contact with people from the Morningside Recovery rehab facility, without notifying the the lawyers in advance. Ultimately, Lindsay’s lawyer convinced Judge Revel to send Lindsay to UCLA.

Per TMZ:

Sources in the D.A.’s Office tell TMZ … prosecutor Danette Meyers was the one who raised the objection with Judge Revel on Friday. We’re told Judge Revel voluntarily recused herself before Meyers filed legal papers to have her removed.

Judge Revel has been overseeing Lindsay’s legal battle, and sentenced her to almost three months in prison and three months in rehab for violating her probation relating to a 2007 DUI arrest earlier this year. Judge Elden Fox has now taken over the case.

What a mess. And here is where the Lohan-fanatics come out yelling “See, Lindsay was framed!”

Lindsay Lohan Enters Rehab

If we could roll our eyes any harder … In what appears to be nothing more than making a desperate bid to stay out of jail, Lindsay Lohan has taken it upon herself to check into a rehab facility ahead of her upcoming jail sentence, in hopes that the judge will change her ruling and allow her to complete her sentence in a rehab facility rather than the court ordered jail. The facility Lohan has checked into was founded by famed attorney Robert Shapiro, Lohan’s new lawyer, after his son died of an overdose in 2005.

Per X17:

X17online.com can report EXCLUSIVELY that Lindsay Lohan spent her first night in rehab last night — at attorney Robert Shapiro’s rehabilitation facility Pickford Lofts.

Lohan arrived at the home at 3:45 Wednesday, but already has had a variety of visitors including mom Dina, sister Ali, her ex Samantha Ronson, her assistant Eleanor, and her rumored-to-be new girlfriend Eilat Anschel. Eleanor reportedly visited with Lindsay before she went in and even brought her food and pillows. Ronson showed up a little after 10pm and visited for around 45 minutes.

Lohan and Shapiro reportedly plan to ask Judge Marsha Revel to allow her to stay in rehab instead of going to jail. Prosecutor Danette Meyers isn’t buying into Lohans’s rehab act, and has declared that LiLo will definitely be going to the slammer regardless of who she hires or what they say.

Per Radar:

“It’s a really a moot point to ask Judge Revel to send Ms. Lohan to rehab only as Judge Revel has already sentenced her,” Meyers told RadarOnline.com exclusively. “Ms. Lohan is going to jail… Judge Revel could have sentenced her to more time behind bars, but she didn’t. The only issue to be decided is what rehabilitation facility Ms. Lohan will be sent to after she serves her jail time.”

Meyers also said she plans to personally be in the court room when Lohan is expected to turn herself in next Tuesday to begin serving her sentence. Once again, Lohan is trying to avoid responsibility for her actions. Not like we expected anything less.
