Bid to put end to Morrison’s flash conviction

FLORIDA governor, Charlie Crist, is being asked to pardon the late Jim Morrison, lead singer of The Doors, 38 years after the rock star was convicted of exposing himself during a Miami concert.

Dave Diamond, a cable TV producer from Dayton, Ohio, wrote to Mr Crist last month asking for the pardon. Mr Diamond said the goal was to remember the Melbourne, Florida native as an artist, not a rock ‘n roll bad boy with a rap sheet.

“Well, given that fact, I’m certainly willing to review it,” said Mr Crist.
