Conspiracy is a felony, whether the crime is committed or not. Curiously, 
conspiracy to commit a misdemeanor is a felony.

Also, if I fire a gun I think is loaded but isn't, or shoot a corpse I 
thought was still alive, I can be found guilty of attempted murder 
(assuming the other elements are present).
