Fla. Governor May Pardon Jim Morrison

Back in March of 1969, Mr. Mojo Risin himself played a show with The Doors that would end with him being charged with lewd and lascivious behavior, indecent exposure and profanity. His case was on appeal when he died suddenly at the age of 27 on July 3, 1971. Now it seems Governor Charlie Crist may consider pardoning him!

From aolnews.com:

The music is just about over for Gov. Charlie Crist, but he may have one more noteworthy task left before leaving office: a pardon of fellow Floridian Jim Morrison for indecent exposure charges during a concert 41 years ago.

"Candidly, it's something that I haven't given a lot of thought to, but it's something I'm willing to look into in the time I have left," Crist told Washington, D.C.'s The Hill newspaper. "Anything is possible."

The lead singer of The Doors was by all accounts drunk by the time he got on stage at the Dinner Key Auditorium in Miami on March 1, 1969. A raucous concert ensued, even by Morrison standards, and a few days later he was charged with lewd and lascivious behavior, indecent exposure and profanity.

Morrison was found guilty of the latter two counts, and his case was on appeal when he was found dead of a suspected drug overdose in a bathtub in a Paris apartment on July 3, 1971.
