Defense opening on the 1st day said; You’ll here from the defendant”.
I have no idea why they made the decision. Maybe Kyle insisted?

Apparently he insisted. Saw some snark on another website from a lawyer that this was the same "wisdom" that brought him armed to Kenosha.
In fact, he's right, but not in the sense he thinks. Rittenhouse went to Kenosha to help oppose the lawless rioting and protect his fellow citizens. We have gotten far too used to deferring action to the state or to para-governmental personnel like lawyers. That kind of deference is appropriate for serfs or slaves, not citizens.
I think Rittenhouse demanded to testify to make that plain.

To gain not just an acquittal but also a complete public vindication. That may also help set up a civil rights suit for damages on his behalf.

Bongino's Wisconsin law expert said it was to gain a "directed aquittal with prejudice". (Can't be tried again).
