Does the rule of lenity apply when there are two interpretations of the penal code?

¹⁰ We disagree with plaintiffs' assertion the rule of lenity should apply. That rule generally requires that ambiguity in a criminal statute should be resolved in favor of lenity, giving the defendant the benefit of every reasonable doubt on questions of interpretation. But ... that rule applies only if two reasonable interpretations of the statute stand in relative equipoise. [Citation.] [Citations.] [Citations.]' [Citation.] The rule of lenity does not apply every time there are two or more reasonable interpretations of a penal statute. [Citation.] Rather, the rule applies only if the court can do no more than guess what the legislative body intended; there must be an egregiousambiguity and uncertainty to justify invoking the rule.
