They wanted to "keep the prisoner $\qquad$ " but the "restraints would prejudice the jury." So the plan must have been to keep this prisoner restrained. "Manacled" and "fettered" are very close synonyms that mean chained or restrained and are, therefore, the correct pair. "Incensed," meaning "angry," pairs somewhat nicely with "nettled," meaning irritated or annoyed. While they make a good pair, they do not mean restrained. Neither "malleable," meaning bendable or easily influenced, nor "incomparable" fits the context of the sentence.
