I think he will be taking the stand at the trial because I suspect he has a very dominant personality and will try to use that to his advantage in front of a jury.

Whether the interview was successful - I don't think it was. A calculated risk that I think went in favour of the prosecution.

oh, and one more thing, it is possible that the interview wasn't supported or advised by the legal team. It wouldn't be the first time a client ignores a lawyer's advice and does something that materially hurts their position.
