Charlie Crist, Jeb Bush's successor as governor of Florida is reportedly "seriously considering" pardoning dead rock star Jim Morrison for his 1969 conviction for indecent exposure. Refusing to let sleeping dogs or deceased singers lie, the Doors Collectors Magazine petitioned the governor and may have the Republican politician questioning the legality of the possibly "bogus" accusations. Ray Manzarek reiterated Morrison's innocence, saying that he only pretended to expose himself at Miami's Dinner Key Auditorium. "He taunted the audience," said the Doors' keyboardist. "'I'm going to show you! I'm going to show it to you!' Then he took his shirt off, held it front of him like a bullfighter's cape, [and] wiggled it around as if there was something going on behind it."

Rather than have his legal team looking into the proprieties of the convictions of inmates sentenced to death or looking into updating the State's beleaguered voting system, Crist announced that they will review the 38 year old conviction to determine whether they will clear the long-dead singer's name.

Who knows, if Jim is cleared maybe he'll come out of hiding in Oregon for the ceremony?
