A:
If you have a text from the seller stating they didn't know the item was stolen, it could help support your claim that you were unaware of the item's origin. This shows that even the person who sold it to you had no knowledge of its status, which can back up your own lack of awareness.
However, it's important to understand that the legal system will look at all the facts, not just one piece of evidence. The text alone may not be enough to prove your innocence, but it could be useful as part of your overall defense.
To strengthen your position, gather any additional documentation or communications that support your claim. Every detail can make a difference in your case.
