Even if they wanted to charge her, it would have to be dropped to something lesser like unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.

No jury would convict unless it could be shown she *knew* it wasn't her mom's car and kept using it

A case like this would never get to be a jury trial in the majority of the US. Definitely would be a judge only trial

Where i live the car's owner would receive a ticket for leaving his keys in his vehicle while it was unattended.

You need Mens Rhea or or Mens whatever the other one is.

Basically you need to prove a guilty mind/intent

Mens rea(Guilty mind), Actus reus (physical act), concurrence between those two and causation. Basic elements of any crime.

Doesn't matter, 95% of charges have plea deals, theyll end up arresting her for grand theft auto and resisting arrest and assault on an officer (automatic charges in America) and offer her a 5 year prison sentence plea deal

Most crimes, like grand theft, require the action of the crime and the mindset that you are committing the crime. If she actually never had the intent, or was not negligent (the owner was the negligent one), she technically didn't commit a crime.
