The mysterious recantation of Marilyn Manson's accuser (Feat. Jonathan Handel)

One of Marilyn Manson’s accusers has recanted her sexual abuse allegations against him, and her sudden reversal has raised a number of questions — including about the shock rocker’s attorney. Named in court papers by his birth name Brian Warner, Manson has been in the middle of an aggressive counteroffensive against women accusing him of sexual misconduct. The saga started when his ex-girlfriend, actress Evan Rachel Wood, accused him of rape, physical abuse and cult-like behavior.  Now, another ex-girlfriend, Ashley Smithline, suddenly reversed her claims and asserted Wood "manipulated" her, but a judge ruled that her sworn declaration won't be let into Manson's lawsuit against Wood. On this week's episode, Hollywood-based lawyer Jonathan Handel hashes out the latest developments — and why he believes that Smithline's voicemail raises questions about Manson's lawyer.
