PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See Joseph v. State, 868 So.2d 5, 8 (Fla. 4th DCA 2004) ([The defendant] was not asked for his opinion of the detectives credibility. [He] was not required to choose between conceding the point or branding the detective as a liar. Asking whether another witness is wrong, not accurate, or mistaken is very different from asking whether the witness is a liar.) (internal citations omitted); U.S. v. Gaines, 170 F.3d 72, 82 (1st Cir. 1999) (The witness was not required to choose between conceding the point or branding another witness as a liar.); U.S. v. Gaind, 31 F.3d 73, 77 (2d Cir. 1994) (Asking a witness whether a previous witness who gave conflicting testimony is mistaken highlights the objective conflict without requiring the witness to condemn the prior witness a purveyor of deliberate falsehood, i.e., a liar. ).
