At Rest

Vehic/Purs
Carole Tierney died from her injuries several weeks after rookie trooper Mark Molitor's squad car t-boned the SUV in which she was riding. Tierney lived in a hospital bed for six weeks before her organs failed. She had a heart attack and died August 25. State's Attorney Joe Bruscato declined to charge Molitor, saying that he was on his way to make a traffic stop, but did not need to have his lights and sirens activated.
This record exists so that Carole Tierney, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
