So, it seems the defense called the probation officer as a witness? A strategic risk in that it discloses the existence of prior criminal record of the defendant, one of the reasons a defendant doesn't testify. If the defense wasn't worried about this, then the defendant not testifying will lead to lots of speculation on the part of the jury. As a result of this PO testimony, they knew he had prior history. They will be asking themselves why didn't he testify.
