PHOENIX -- The nation faces tough questions in tough times, and there are people on both sides of every issue.
Arizona is no different. But who’s saying what about the issues important to Arizonans?
Unlike a Sunday newspaper, ABC15.com figured there’s endless space on the Internet for discourse, and certainly no shortage of topics.
ABC15.com has launched a weekly segment called "Hear Me Out," and each Sunday we'll debut an Arizona issue - along with two opposing sides on the topic.
Don’t worry, the conversation isn’t limited to the two people providing the point and counterpoint. You always have the opportunity to make comments at the bottom of the page. Yeah, your opinion matters too.
This week, we're tackling the story of a jailed Maricopa County detention officer who's accused of taking a lawyer's paperwork from her courtroom desk.
The story has generated incredible debate - on both sides.
Detention Officer Adam Stoddard has since been found in contempt of court for walking up to Attorney Joanne Cuccia's desk and removing the document.
He was put in jail for several weeks, but on Thursday morning was released pending an appeal filed by his attorney.
