If a person that has papers showing that they bought the property and the people that stolen it said that the person didn't have any idea that it was stolen help his case?

Answer:

Yes it would, it would constitute a piece of evidence in your defense. However, because you are the ultimate "receiver' of the stolen property you will still have to appear in court to prove to the judge/jury's satisfaction that you gained possession of the property not knowing (or having at least a suspcion) that it was stolen goods.
