Yes, you could be charged with a crime. You would be charged, at a minimum as an accomplice or conspirator. Whether anyone (DA, Jury, etc.) beleived you thought it was okay is a question that will repeatedly come up. However, if you mother confesses to telling you to do it, it might help you and make it easier to work out a plea bargain that is favorable too you - IF you get charged.
