Of Crimes Against Public Justice — California Penal Code — Perjury And Subornation Of Perjury — Materiality of false statement

  • Date:

Current through the 2016 Legislative Session

It is no defense to a prosecution for perjury that the accused did not know the materiality of the false statement made by him; or that it did not, in fact, affect the proceeding in or for which it was made. It is sufficient that it was material, and might have been used to affect such proceeding.
