Back in 1969, Morrison may -- or may not, depending on which witness you believed -- exposed himself during a Doors concert in Miami. (Surviving band members said Morrison was drunk, but never unzipped for the crowd.) The Florida native denied the charges, but was convicted of two misdemeanors and sentenced to six months. He was appealing the verdict when he died in 1971, and it remained in a legal limbo until Crist took up the cause.

Why Morrison? Why now? In previous interviews, Crist said the more he looked into the case, the more he was convinced the the rocker was innocent.

The incident and its aftermath sent Morrison and the group into a tailspin that ended with Morrison's death — though the legend is alive and well.

So what did happen?

Crist did the right thing. The time to hesitate is through. Morrison was totally framed. The End.

Crist? Politically, he's dead. But otherwise, he's very much alive.

A politician who feels the need to pardon a dead man for possible wang exposure 40 years later, needs to be politically dead. Thank goodness for our tax dollars at work to close out that unsolved case!

ClydeR, I'm disturbed that you're okay with this. I've never even come close to agreeing with you on anything before, probably because you're a robo-puppet. Maybe there's hope for you after all...

Wanna go get high at Morrison's grave with me?

This to me seems like Crist trying to gain political points with the Doors generation who are all now Septarians and the radical left.

Completely empty and vacuous just to score votes.

Regardless of whether he exposed himself or not, there have been atleast a few people who have done worse in florida. I can't remember who did it, but one guy actually pissed on the crowd.
