1. Директор банка, прокурор и присяжные вышли у меня какими-то зверями, защитник — абрикосовской тянучкой, а сам я — барашком.
****абрикосовской тянучкой... — Конфетами производства московского кондитерского фабриканта А. И. Абрикосова.
2. Помню, в конце концов я лежал на кровати и просил, чтобы меня не держали, что моей голове и без воды холодно... Зубной боли я уже не чувствовал — не до нее мне было...
in this case verb "выходить" must understanding as "to result"
(In my notes) prosecutor and jury came out as some kind of beasts, counselor as sickly-sweet and me as a lamb.
*Не знаю, нужно здесь "as" или нет.
My first guess is that they "turned out to be freaks," that is "unreasonable, idiotic folks."Quote:

He told the story as if the prosecutor and juty were overly cruel (like a pack of wild beasts), a councelor was too sugary, and he was a hapless victim, a picture of innocence and maybe naive stupiduty.Quote:
