A transsexual who collapsed in court last Friday after being jailed for six months was freed on bail yesterday pending appeal. Petra McCullough (23), who used to be a man and was known as Peter, was jailed along with Gary Browne (28) after they admitted handling stolen goods. The Magistrate at Derry Court refused to grant them bail and made a special order to ensure McCullough was detained in the female wing of Maghaberry Prison.
In the High Court yesterday, a lawyer for the pair said they had clear records and would turn up for their appeal.
