Death Row Scot Kenny Richey has kissed his mum Eileen for the first time since 1981.
The pair held hands constantly during a tear filled three hour reunion in his Ohio jail last week.
Although a bullet proof screen was lifted between them, they where still seperated by bards and Richey was shackled and watched by armed guards.
After flying home to Edinburgh, Eileen, 61, sobbed, "What mother has had to wait 25 years to kiss her son? It meant so much and I told him, "Your lips are as soft as I remember."
"It was wonderful but very, very emotional. We last hugged in 1981 when Kenny left for America"
Richey, 42, has been in Mansfield Correctional Institution since 1987, fighting a death sentence for the arson murder of a tot.
Supreme Court judges have rules the state must retry him or let him go.......... a decision yet to be made
