Jim Morrison and the Miami Trial Great Quality Rare Footage 1970
Музыка
On March 1st, 1969 The Doors perform at the Miami Dinner Key Auditorium and Jim Morrison is later faced with numerous charges due to supposed incidents taking place during the show. Unaware of their future troubles with the law, Jim and The Doors board a plane the next day and head to Jamaica for a holiday. In the subsequent days while on vacation, Miami officials begin to issue warrants for Jim's arrest, and the media begins reporting the event nationwide. Jim Morrison returns to the U.S. only to learn that he is being charged with a felony and is now a wanted man in Florida.
On April 3rd, Jim turns himself in to authorities at the Los Angeles Federal Building after a second felony charge is laid against him for fleeing Miami. He waives extradition charges, and is eventually arrested on November 9th in Miami where he is released 20 minutes later on bond. All official documents pertaining to the trial and arrest indicate that Jim had a total of 4 charges laid against him - Lewd and Lascivious Behavior (a felony), Indecent Exposure, Open Profanity and Public Drunkeness.
On August 10th, 1970 the trial officially begins at the Dade County Courthouse as Case No. 69-2355 "State Of Florida vs. James Douglas Morrison". Max Fink is selected as Jim's defense lawyer for the case along with local attorney Robert Josefsberg. From August to October of 1970, details on Jim Morrison's trial are given national attention and the trial is looked upon as a farce by Jim, the band members, and legal attorneys on both sides of the case. Despite their opinions, Judge Murray Goodman is determined to make an example out of Jim for political and financial reasons, and all efforts are made to convict him. On September 20th, Jim is convicted with Open Profanity and Indecent Exposure, with the right to appeal, and given a 6 month prison sentence and $500 fine. He is released on bond pending his appeal, and states that he intends to appeal the case for as long as it takes. In February of 1971, Jim is residing in Paris where French law indicates that he cannot legally be extradited back to the U.S. to face the charges. He never returns from Paris.

Jim was great with his super intelligent quotes in interviews. He was always so erudite and very articulate. Sad to see all his talent and rock star persona being destroyed by drugs and alcohol. He had it all fame, fortune and adulation but he threw it all away. He is still one of my favorite rock musicians and the doors will always be one of my favorite bands next to the Stones and the kinks. He lived an extremely short life but also a full one indeed. R.I.P. Jim. You and Ray and the doors live on and rock on forever.

I think the same. Acid and weed are great when taken in moderation but alcohol my god it’s so pervasive. It’s a legal drug and has been for many many years, I am an ex alcoholic and the damage it can do to you and those around you is immense.
All the crazy stories and no photos or film of anything? Lol. Jim was a one if a kind trip.

This Miami trial was a shame against Jim Morrison and the Doors! It was the way the US government managed to end the Doors concerts! For God's sake in the 60's when freedom of expression was breathed, everyone walked naked, when films like Hair, Easy Rider... (a warning foreshadowing for Jim Morrison), the movie Easy Rider .. .this foreshadowing that Jim was not aware....unfortunately it cost him his life! Jim Morrison to be judged while organizing a festival that went down in history,...Woodstock Festival...have pity, but what a bad joke! Jim Morrison did not live in vain... He won this cause that was never lost... He was living proof that you pay a very high price for having the courage to wear your soul on your face... as he said.. .. I always loved Jim Morrison, now I love him even more! Jim will live until the end of time in our hearts and beyond....Jim forever!!!

Myslím, že Jim byl ke konci života v depresi z toho, v čem žije, co z něho vytvořila jeho image zpěváka. Byl to hluboký člověk, který filosofoval a myslel spirituálně, v širších souvislostech. Myslím, že kdyby viděl, co se dneska považuje za umění, byl by zděšen. Duše básníka vždy naráží na hranici reality. Hudba Doors je nadčasova, to je opravdová hudba a umění. A bohužel, v téhle éře kulturního úpadku ji nikdo nenahradí.

Jim was scared to do jail time.
Morrison was absolutely pilled up on tranquilizers here for his court. I think they used to be Quaaludes?.. It’s what Xanax is today being benzodiazepines/tranquilizers I remember him saying it an interview before that he either was going to take a bunch or it was after he admitted it. This guy definitely had addiction and may have been bipolar People have told me I remind them of him Can’t tell how I feel

Jim wasn't a heroin addict. He did try it a couple times in Paris once he moved there in early 71, and it actually was the reason he died as he took some after he had been drinking l, which almost always has disastrous consequences. Jim was an alcoholic first and foremost, and that goes back to even before his time with the Doors.
