Jim Morrison’s trial for allegedly exposing himself onstage in Miami begins. He would be found guilty and Judge Goodman would sentence Jim to six months of hard labor and a $500 fine for public exposure and sixty days of hard labor for profanity. His lawyer filed an immediate appeal and Jim was freed on $50,000 bond. Morrison would die in Paris, France on July 3rd, 1971 before his legal problems could be resolved. In December, 2010, the Florida Clemency Board would grant him a full pardon. Members of The Doors’ staff insisted that Morrison never exposed himself in the first place.
