- by Susan Candiotti, CNN
(CNN) —︎ The Florida Board of Executive Clemency on Thursday voted unanimously to posthumously pardon Jim Morrison, the charismatic lead singer for The Doors, four decades after Morrison was convicted of indecent exposure and open profanity.
Outgoing Florida Gov. Charlie Crist—︎an admitted Doors fan—︎proposed the official let-off for the late singer for a disputed incident during a Miami, Florida, concert.
Morrison's widow, Patricia Kennealy Morrison, who opposed the pardon, said she was not surprised at the outcome, given the fans who were supporting it.
