Shelly offers to sell Jane goods that Shelly, but not Jane, knows are stolen. Jane accepts the offer, and agrees to pay for the goods. Later, Jane refuses to accept or pay for the goods. If knowledge is not an element of this crime, and Shelly sues Jane for breach of contract, what is the probable result?

Probably, Shelly's sue doesn't get to much effect.

Explanation:

First of all, we need to know what is a breach of contract.

Breach of contract refers to failing perform any agreement or contract term, without a legal excuse (means that if Jane has a legal excuse, she have the right to decline the agreement, and she could have it.).

A important element is that they didn't write any contract. So, there's no physical prove against Jane. Since that goods are stolen, if Shelly wants to appeal, it could be found the true, because obviously Shelly doesn't have any prove to demonstrate goods are hers.

So, the probably result is nothing happens. Shelly's sue doesn't get affect Jane.
