However, Jeremy's twin brother Jason released an exclusive statement to RadarOnline.com and said that he does "not believe Jeremy's account of the events that happened that night."

"Our doubts have never been that something transpired that evening," Jason told RadarOnline.com. 

"Our doubts have to do with WHY he was with those guys in the first place. We have doubts that he was sober, and doubts that he went with them in any way other than willingly to score drugs.

Guarino, who also testified that on the afternoon of June 11, he believed London “was under the influence of alcohol or drugs,” told the court he interviewed Adams several times following his arrest. It was during one of these interviews that Adams confessed to pulling a gun on the actor, 37.

Guarino said Adams told him, “we were telling him [London] to shut the f**k up, we would give him his pills when we wanted to.”

The detective also said Adams told him, “we told him [London] ‘we like you, don’t make me shoot your ass.’”

Adams confessed to Guarino, “we were just toying with Jeremy in order to get him to buy us some alcohol.”

Guarino then testified, “Brandon admitted he took the car from Jeremy under fear and while the gun was placed to the victim’s head.”

This testimony is a big win for London, who has faced skepticism since the story broke of his alleged kidnapping. He has always maintained his innocence despite having history of drug abuse.

Outside the courtroom, London told reporters he was happy to testify against Adams, saying “Today’s hearing is not only a major advancement in the pursuit of justice, but also for my personal journey towards achieving closure.”
