You have asked this in the wrong category. This is a criminal law question, not a civil litigation question. Questions are routed to attorneys based on their expertise in particular areas. When you send a criminal law question to civil litigation attorneys you are not going to get an answer, or you will get nothing more than an educated guess.

Of course. The prosecutors can amend at any time they believe they can prove additional or different charges.
Do you really think the court and prosecutor's office, charged with enforcing and upholding the 'law', are likely to do something 'illegal'?
