Concurring Opinion by FRIEDMAN, J.
FRIEDMAN, J., concurring.
I concur. I join Sections I and II of the Court’s Opinion without reservation. With respect to Section III, however, I conclude that Section 111(b)(1) is but one possible interpretation of Criminal Law § 3-315, while n.14 argues for another (to me, more plausible) interpretation. Thus, I am persuaded that the statute is ambiguous and, therefore, subject to the rule of lenity. As such, I would rely exclusively on the reasoning stated in Section 111(b)(2).
