Affirmed. See State v.

State, 688 So. 2d 895, 898 (Fla. 1996) (describing fundamental error exception to preservation); Chandler v. State, 702 So. 2d 186, 191 n.5 (Fla. 1997) (noting that denigrating comments describing defendant as “brutal rapist and conscienceless murderer” were not so prejudicial as to constitute fundamental error).
