Consider this:"Taneka Talley was stabbed to death in March 2006 while she was working as a clerk at a Dollar Tree store in Fairfield [, California]. Her killer's only motive, prosecutors say, is that she was African American.
"That's also the reason the store workers' compensation insurer is denying $250,000 in death benefits to Talley's 11-year-old son.
"The boy's grandmother, the child's legal guardian, said Specialty Risk Services is taking the position that a racially motivated killing is personal, not work-related-even though the man charged with killing Talley had never met her before. The insurance company, Dollar Tree and their lawyers aren't talking publicly about the case but are defending their position before a state appeals board that hears workers' compensation disputes."
