Jim turned himself in to the FBI in Los Angeles on April 4, 1969. On November 9, 1969 he entered a not guilty plea in Miami. The trial did not start until August 12, 1970. Max Fink was Jim's defense lawyer, the prosecuter was Terrence McWilliams and Judge Murray Goodman presided over the case. Much evidence was heard from witnesses for both sides. Most of it was contradictory.

JIM MORRISON SWIMMING TO THE MOON Few larger-than-life stars of Rock’s Golden Age had personalities more inscrutable than The Doors legendary frontman, Jim Morrison. Still, it’s hard to believe that Morrison had much in common with the one-dimensional character depicted in playwright Gary Flaxman’s dreary metaphysical bio-drama. The play takes place in 1968, in the Afterlife, as Morrison (Damon Shalit), newly resurrected after dying of an overdose in a Paris hotel room, meets up with Al (Abner Genece), a burly, intimidating angel. Al declares that Morrison must stand trial, either to be allowed to become part of the Heavenly Consciousness or to return to Earth and be recycled eternally (an option one can’t help but think that Wayne Newton opted for). Flaxman’s script is suffused with a commendable affection — indeed, a reverence — for Morrison. Yet, the play is ... long-winded and static to point of being one lengthy drone — a problem that’s exacerbated by director Judy Rose’s humorless and anemically paced staging.

In January 1964, Morrison moved to Los Angeles, California. He completed his undergraduate degree in UCLA's film school, the Theater Arts department of the College of Fine Arts in 1965. He made two films while attending UCLA. "First Love", the first of the two films, was released to the public when it appeared in a documentary about the film Obscura.

Morrison's father was officer for the United States Navy. This meant that he moved around very often. Morrison did not have many friends and read many books. When he went to high school in 1962, his teacher was amazed by his culture. In 1964 he went to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
