Jim Morrison Pardon
November 9th, 2010 by flanews“People are Strange,” but so is politics. Before Tuesday’s election, not one would have thought Doors front man Jim Morrison, who died of a drug overdose in 1971, would have a shot at a pardon for indecent exposure and profanity during a 1969 Miami concert, but now that Governor Charlie Crist is a short timer, here’s what he had to say about a possible pardon for Morrison.
“Yeah I am considering it and I think I want to get a sense from the other cabinet members, what they’re feeling might be, but I’m certainly willing to consider it,” said Crist.
The next Clemency Board hearing is scheduled for December 9th. That will be Crist’s last. All eyes will be on the governor to see if he can help Morrison “Break on Through to the Other Side” of the law.
