Fla. Clemency Board considers pardon for late Jim Morrison of famed Doors rock group

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.
