Why do you think that the law defines a conspiracy as a felony even though the underlying crime was only a misdemeanor or an infraction?
Because that's the way your state legislature drafted the statute. Just because the offense turned out to be charged as a misdemeanor offense does not mean that the way it was designed to be carried out wasn't a felony, or that a misdemeanor offense could not have escalated into a felony.
What does it mean to have a felony amended?
Usually refers to the actual charge being changed or altered in some way, either enhanced or reduced or even re-worded to a more appropriate offense or statute.
Can a misdemeanor become a felony after starting the court process?
Unlikely, but possible. The criteria for either offense classification is set by the wording of the statute you were charged with. The only way your charge could be 'upped' is, if during further investigation of your offense, it came to light that the facts of the crime supported an upgrade in the charge. The prosecutor could file to amend the original charge to the appropriate felony offense. Kind of unlikely, but where the law is concerned, anything is possible.
