A posthumous pardon to Doors lead singer Jim Morrison could be one of the final acts Florida Governor Charlie Crist will sign before leaving office. Morrison, who grew up in Melbourne, Florida and attended Crist's alma mater Florida State, was rung-up on indecent exposure charges after a Miami Doors concert in March of 1969.  The singer died in 1971 before serving any sentence on the conviction.  Noting there were doubts about how the case against Morrison was presented, Crist said a pardon is '...something I'm willing to look into in the time I have left', adding, 'Anything is possible.'  Footage from the incident leading to the charges against Morrison is included in When You're Strange, the excellent Doors documentary released on DVD earlier this year (story).  Despite being obviously out of his mind drunk during the performance, he was cleared on the public intoxication charge during the trial.
