September 20th – Jim Morrison of The Doors is acquitted of charges of “lewd and lascivious behavior” but is found guilty of exposing himself during a concert at The Dinner Key Auditorium in Coconut Grove a year and a half earlier. At the trial, held at the Dade County Courthouse in Miami, Florida, Judge Goodman sentenced Morrison to six months of hard labor along with a $500 fine for public exposure … and an additional six months of hard labor for profanity. The sentence was appealed but Morrison died in Paris, France on July 3, 1971, before he could be brought back to trial.
