London, Oct 31 Tito Jackson is all set to testify in court to support his pal David Gest in his case against a Los Angeles auction house.

Music mogul Gest is suing Julien's Auctions for more than 625,000 pounds in damages after the company offered 21 Jackson family items- including a Platinum RIAA Record Award for Thriller-telling clients they were from Gest's personal collection.

Gest has claimed that he had no idea of the sale in Las Vegas, which took place just days after the King of Pop's death in June (09).

And now, Jackson 5 singer Tito has vowed to take to the stand to support his pal.

"I am amazed that an auction house like Julien's Auctions would use David Gest's name to sell an item that was not his. There are a number of the items that they listed in their Michael Jackson catalogue on June 26-27 that never even belonged to David Gest. I will also testify in court that this RIAA Award Disc for Thriller Presented to Steve Manning never belonged to David Gest," The Daily Express quoted Jackson as saying. (ANI)
