Killer Poet
Killer Poet sounds like an interesting documentary: “When I look at JJ, it makes me believe in the possibility of redemption.”

Those who know Norman Porter (the subject of Killer Poet)well do indeed believe in redemption, for we have seen it at work in the life of our friend.
If you’d like to learn more about Norman Porter, please bookmark http://friends-of-norman-a-porter.org, an almost-ready new website created by a group of Norman’s long-time friends.
The site, which should go live in the next few days, presents accurate information supported by 46 years’ worth of legal and other documentation.

Friends of Norman A. Porter
looking forward to seeing the site!
I knew Norman Porter (as JJ Jameson) for well over ten years, and I DO NOT believe he represents redemption.
