Support the independent voice of Miami and help keep the future of New Times free.
After the failed debacle of his Independent senate run Charlie Crist's legacy is in grave danger, so it's no surprise he's decided to become the "guy who finally pardoned Jim Morrison." After indicating he was open to pardoning The Doors frontman of indecency charges stemming from an infamous 1969 Miami concert, he's now decided, "the right thing to do would be to try to bring about a pardon,"
"The more I looked into it, the more I felt the right thing to do would be to try to bring about a pardon," Crist
tells the St. Petersburg Times. "And I've reached that conclusion now, that's what I'm going to do."
