Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: how much time for receiving stolen porterty over $5000?

None, unless you get caught. If you get caught, depends on what the evidence is and whether you have a good lawyer, and what your prior record is, and whether you stole the captain's bowling trophy. In general receiving stolen property over $5000 is a felony in California and unlucky offenders can expect a stretch in state prison.

Re: how much time for receiving stolen porterty over $5000?

The state prison term maximum, without any priors or enhancements, is 3 years.

Your question should have been: "what should I do to avoid getting sentenced to the max term of prison?" Answer: hire a good attorney as soon as possible, that is what they are for. If it is you facing the charge, feel free to contact me if in SoCal.
