§ 60.15 Rules of evidence; what witnesses may be called.

involving a defendant in which evidence is or may be received, both the
people and the defendant may as a matter of right call and examine
witnesses, and each party may cross-examine every witness called by the
other party.
2. A defendant may testify in his own behalf, but his failure to do
so is not a factor from which any inference unfavorable to him may be
drawn.
