5. I found this:

Under Penal Code 132 PC, both the act of offering false evidence and that of preparing false evidence make up the crime. It is characterized by a criminal intent to knowingly present the evidence and also to prepare false evidence to be used in a legal proceeding.

Each is classified as a felony and they carry serious consequences. Despite the classification as a felony, it is important to note that the level of the legal proceedings or its seriousness is relevant to the classification of the charge. The effect of presenting or preparing false evidence is damaging to the court system, which accounts for the seriousness of the offense.

This crime is also closely related to destroying evidence, planting evidence, forgery, and perjury.
