In front of a black Durham jury? She'd be a heroine in their eyes.

Would a jury be drawn only from the city of Durham or from a wider area (i.e. an entire county)?

Either way, the jury would probably be at most half black.

I still don't see this case going to trial. The eyes of the world are on Coman and Winsted. They don't want to be responsible for triggering a DOJ investigation or a new law in the state allowing criminal charges to be filed against prosecutors for misconduct. There are already efforts at the latter and the DAs are hopping mad at Nifong for making them vulnerable. The only way to stop that speeding train is to drop these charges.
