Way back in 1969, Jim Morrison was convicted of indecent exposure at a Florida concert. Now, outgoing Governor, Charlie Crist, is considering pardoning Jim Morrison for that crime.
“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,” said Crist. “Anything is possible.” A few years ago, Crist said that he would take a look at the case and give it a fair review. Three years later and he has said and done nothing in the case.
Despite being drunk off his ass at the concert, Morrison was cleared of public intoxication charges and also a felony charge for lewd and lascivious behavior. To be pardoned, Crist and at least two members of the Board Of Executive Clemency must vote in favor of the pardon. Their last meeting will be on December 9. Members of the board have stated they would be willing to pardon Morrison, but need the Governor to make the nomination.
Crist's term ends in January.
