TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida’s outgoing governor wants to posthumously pardon rock-‘n’-roll wild man Jim Morrison, the lead singer of The Doors who was famously convicted of exposing himself at a 1969 concert in Miami.
Gov. Charlie Crist, a Morrison fan, said that the evidence that Morrison unzipped his pants was flimsy and that prosecutors were trying to make an example of the singer.
Morrison was found guilty in 1970 of indecent exposure and public profanity and was fined $500 and sentenced to six months in jail. But he never did the time. He was appealing his conviction when he was found dead in a Paris bathtub in 1971 at age 27. The Associated Press
