Michael Jackson's eldest son Prince -- an eyewitness to the horrific scene in the bedroom where his father lost his life -- does not want to testify in the Conrad Murray trial, but he's telling family he'll do what needs to be done to get justice for his departed dad.

Sources close to Prince tell TMZ ... the 14-year-old is "nervous" and worried that if he's called to the stand he might get flustered and "mess up." 

We're told if Prince is called by prosecutors ... Katherine will ask her lawyers to request that the entire courtroom be cleared during his testimony.  Judge Michael Pastor almost certainly will prohibit the media from training a camera on Prince, but it's unlikely he'll clear the courtroom.

As we previously reported, Prince is on the prosecution's witness list, since Dr. Murray summoned Prince to the bedroom for help during the emergency.  When Prince arrived, he dissolved into tears.

The trial starts today.  We'll be livestreaming opening statements.

lol i was thinking the same thing with "with string attached" and also "departed dad"

[_Anna_]

This is what I found as explanation that could fit this context.

- A limiting or hidden condition. Often used in the plural: a gift with no strings attached.


What I get from : "I'll Testify ... With Strings Attached" - I'll testify  being guided, or having someone to guide me in what I will say.

I understand the same thing as you 2.

Like he will be directed what to say.

Idiom definition for "no strings attached" - If something has no strings attached, there are no obligations or requirements involved.

Worried he will "mess up"? Nooo Prince, you will do great! Just remember to rehearse beforehand!

I think it means prince is being guided.

"with strings attached" .... reminds me of a puppet .... being guided by the puppet master ..........MJ ;=) 

Real Thriller!

With conditions attached.....thats how I read it.

But hasn't he been taking acting lessons specifically for this day ?

I thought of puppetry in Pinocchio.... I don't think of Prince as a puppet at all.  However, he is a boy being guided by his father.  It will be interesting to see what comes of all this.  I think the Jackson family as a whole will stay strong. 
My prayers are with them.


Blessings Always

This is how I read it too, with the conditions being the court room has to be cleared.  With strings attached means doing something but expecting something in return.

If he does testify, he might be nervous (flustered) that he might give away that his dad is alive.  He'll do fine, just needs to stick to the script!

just putting it out there that young prince is in thoughts and prayers that he stay strong and get through this pressurised situation. stay strong little man - you are stronger than you know. when this is all over you will have a lot of people amazed at your determination to stand by your daddy. also the jackson clan will have your back as well as the ARMY OF L.O.V.E

also re: mj being a puppetmaster. i dont agree and think it's not a nice thing to say. not judging. just my opinion.
