Volume 79, No. 152 ©SS 2020 TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2020 50¢/Free to Deployed Areas USPS online VIRUS OUTBREAK customs form unpopular on overseas bases

BY JENNIFER H. SVAN AND NANCY MONTGOMERY Stars and Stripes RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Ger- many — Online postal customs forms that were trumpeted as an innovation that would slash the time customers spend in line at the post office have instead prov- en to be a headache for customers and postal workers at U.S. mili- tary bases overseas. Many customers have struggled to complete the new, glitch-filled electronic forms, and military postal clerks are having to input data on the forms manually at the post office, leading to longer wait times for customers and longer working hours for the clerks. The problem, said military postal workers in Germany and Italy, is with the U.S. Postal Ser- vice website where customers try to fill out the new customs decla- ration form. “It’s not user-friendly at all,” said Senior Airman Ronnie Craw- ford, a postal clerk at the North- side Post Office on Ramstein Air HANS PENNINK/AP Base, Germany.

PRESCOTT — A jury AZ decided it could not reach a verdict in the case of an Arizona man charged in the 1997 shooting and killing of his ex-girlfriend. The jury in the case of Cecilio Cruz deadlocked after 10 hours of deliberation, said Yavapai Su- perior Court Deputy Administra- tor Julie Malinowski. The jurors were released and prosecutors have 60 days to retry the case. Cruz, 40, was charged in the 1997 killing of Marisol Gonzalez, who was shot in the head when the two were 17 years old, the Verde Independent reported. Cruz was charged with sec- ond-degree murder in the death of Gonzalez, and manslaughter in the death of her baby, Andrew, who she was scheduled to deliver the next day. Cruz’s defense attorney said the lack of a murder weapon found was an important facet of the case. Hiker’s heart stops after rescue, then recovers
