A Texas death row inmate's sentence has been upheld by a federal appeals court. The court found that state courts did not act unreasonably in allowing evidence related to the inmate's affiliation with Satanism.

This evidence was deemed relevant to the issue of "future dangerousness". The decision confirms the inmate's sentence, but details of the case are limited in this report.
