OPINION

BRYNER, Chief Judge.

Ralph Adams was convicted by a jury of first-degree sexual assault, AS 11.41.410(a)(1), and kidnapping, AS 11.41.300(a)(1)(C). Superior Court Judge Dale O. Curda sentenced Adams to a composite term of eighty years in prison with twenty years suspended. Adams appeals, contending that the trial court erred in denying a challenge for cause Adams asserted against a member of his jury. Adams also contends that his conviction should be reversed due to improper final argument by the prosecution. Finally, Adams argues that his sentence is excessive. We affirm.
