In this Nov. 17, 2009, photo, Candice Singer, 49, holds her 2-year-old daughter Alesha Singer in their home in Hamilton, N.J. In a five year span, Singer went from being a respected juvenile defense lawyer to a homeless New Jersey meth addict. By the time she was arrested, Singer was charged with 24 separate burglaries and a first degree count of cooking up meth in her mother's house. She could have spent at least five years in prison, but her lawyer was able to steer her to a New Jersey drug court that kept her in treatment instead of behind bars.
