No. The D.A. may feel there is insufficient evidence to convict you [not showing you knew the computers were stolen] but that the computers were stolen.

If you want the computers back, you are probably going to have to file a motion in the criminal case. I suggest speaking to an attorney that is familiar with forfeiture and return of property motions in the context of criminal law.
