No.
Zimmerman did not choose to take the stand, consistent with his rights and advice of counsel. There is nothing about "daring" about it - the criminal justice system isn't about who is most daring, who exposes their side to the most risk yet perseveres in the end.
He let his counsel argue the case, and he was acquitted of the charges he was facing. That is all anyone knows - you cannot draw conclusions about his supposed motives based on his actions.
