. Penalties, Punishment, and Sentencing
for Perjury
Perjury under Penal Code 118 PC is a felony. If convicted, the judge has the discretion to sentence you either to:
•felony probation with up to one year of county jail, OR
•2, 3 or 4 years in county jail.
If you are convicted for any type of perjury, you also face imposition of a fine of up to $10,000.
Subornation of Perjury Under California
Penal Code 127 PC
California law recognizes another type of perjury -- subornation of perjury under Penal Code 127 PC. If you willfully convince or persuade someone else to commit perjury -- and they do, in fact, commit perjury -- then you have committed a crime along with the actual perjurer.
