A federal appeals court upheld a Texas death row inmate's sentence, finding that state courts did not unreasonably allow evidence of his affiliation with Satanism because it was relevant to "future dangerousness."Irving Alvin Davis was sentenced to death in 2002 after he was found guilty of sexually assaulting and killing 15-year-old Melissa Medina.According to court documents, Davis, Medina and others were at a friend's house drinking and socializing when Davis said he was interested in Medina and attempted to grind on her while dancing.
