PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See Edwards v. State, 712 So. 2d 407, 408 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998) (concluding that the erroneous admission of a police officer’s identification of the defendant in a crime videotape “was merely cumulative” where eyewitnesses testified at trial that the defendant was the person who committed the crime; thus, “any error resulting from the admission of the identification testimony was harmless”); Scott v. State, 66 So. 3d 923, 930 (Fla. 2011) (“[U]nder the ‘invited response’ doctrine, the State is permitted ‘to emphasize uncontradicted evidence for the narrow purpose of rebutting a defense argument since the defense has invited the response.’” (quoting Caballero v. State, 851 So. 2d 655, 660 (Fla. 2003))).
