Fla. Clemency Board considers pardon for late Jim Morrison of famed Doors rock group
Quote:
One of the final acts of Gov. Charlie Crist and the Florida Cabinet could be to clear the record of former Doors frontman Jim Morrison, who was convicted for indecent exposure during a concert in Miami in 1969. He died two years later.
Crist has been asked about this several times since former Miami Herald reporter Gary Fineout first raised the issue. As Fineout has pointed out, Crist is a fan of the Doors and Morrison, like Crist, grew up in Florida and attended
Florida State University
.
Crist is open to the pardon and said today that it would be up to his fellow Clemency Board members.
Go 'Noles.

Nothing against Jim Morrison or the Doors but, don't our politicians have anything better to do than get involved with a 40 year old IE case aganist a drunk who, at the time, proudly wore the IE arrest like a badge of triumph against authority?
He broke the law, got arrested, and got tons of free publicicity from it.
There are perhaps thousands in Florida (or any other state) who are more deserving of a pardon than Morrison.
There are truly inocent people who were wrongly executed who did not get the attention that Morrison is getting

Yeah, but we're not talking about just any ordinary Joe's wang being exposed, we're talking about Jim Morrison's wang.
Back in the 60's the Jim Morrison's wang being exposed to impressionable teenagers would inspire the kind of fear that today only Chuck Norris with a q-tip could.
