I don't think allowing him to draw the jurors compromises the integrity of the jury, but it does (combined with the cozy photo) create a positive image of the defendant as being helpful, trustworthy, and engaged in justice, an image that is at the heart of his defense. It's fine for the defense attorneys to paint that picture, but the judge seems to be doing his best to help out which I don't believe should be his role. I think that is an issue.
