Smollett on the witness stand:
"You know, when I was in sixth grade, they told us when we went to junior high we’d be either in Track 1, Track 2, or Track 3. Track 1’s the smart kids, Track 2’s the normal kids, Track 3’s the dumb kids. And what do you think I got? How do you think it feels to be told that you’re dumb, in ink, when you’re eleven years old?"
