Media summary: 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.
