Is it a criminal offence to offer in evidence a record that the person knows has been forged?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Williams v. Ortega, Case No.: 18-cv-00547-LAB-MDD (S.D. Cal. 2019):

California Penal Code section 132 ("Section 132") makes it a felony to offer in evidence a record that the person knows has been forged. Cal. Penal Code 132 (West 2019). California Penal Code section 134 ("Section 134") makes it a felony to prepare a false record with the intent to produce it for any fraudulent purpose in a trial or other proceeding. Cal. Penal Code 132 (West 2019). Criminal statutes do not create civil liability. See Allen v. Gold Country Casino, 464 F.3d 1044, 1048 (2006). As criminal statutes, neither Section 132 nor Section 134 create civil liability.
