A. Every person charged with a violation of a city ordinance that constitutes a crime is presumed innocent unless proved guilty. No person may be convicted of such a violation unless each element of such crime is proved by competent evidence beyond a reasonable doubt.

B. When a violation of such a city ordinance has been proven against a person, and there exists a reasonable doubt as to which of two or more degrees they are guilty, such person shall be convicted only of the lowest degree. (Ord. 5682 § 1, 2002.)
