but I wonder HOW it could have happened. In any trial, a person is allowed to take the stand in his own defense

Since he did in the eyes of the law commit the offense, maybe he didn't want to be directly questioned on it and have to admit guilt or commit perjury. Still if they have enough evidence that a conviction would seem likely, you would think that his lawyer would realize that he has to testify and try to let the barred information slip. But IANAL, and certainly not a trial lawyer. Maybe there is something I'm missing.
