4. Judgment of the court below
가. 원심에서 적법하게 채택하여 조사한 증거에 의하여 알 수 있는 다음과 같은 사정, 즉 피해자의 MRSA 감염은 피고인의 피해자에 대한 양측 전슬관절 치환술 이후에 발생한 것이었고, 그에 따라 피고인은 피해자의 수술 부위 감염에 대한 치료를 계속해 왔던 점, 피고인이 마지막으로 시행한 2008. 7. 19.자 피해자의 좌측 슬관절 천자액에 대한 검사 결과 ESR, CRP 수치는 각 49㎜/hr, 5.76㎎/㎗로 여전히 염증 소견이 남아있었음에도, 피고인은 2008. 7. 19. 양측 수술 부위에 대한 세균배양검사 결과 음성반응이 나오자 그 후 피해자가 퇴원할 때까지 감염 여부를 정확하게 확인할 수 있는 ESR, CRP 및 세균배양검사 등을 전혀 시행하지 않았던 점, 피고인은 공소외 1이 주도적으로 피해자의 치료에 관여한 후인 2008. 7. 25.에도 피해자에 대하여 수술 부위를 다시 절개하고 연골 대체물을 교체하는 수술을 시행한 점, 피고인이 근무하는 이 사건 병원 의료진은 2008. 8.경 피고인에게 피해자의 상태에 관하여 알리고 그에 따라 피고인이 피해자의 치료에 대하여 지시하거나 피해자를 회진하기도 하는 등 계속하여 피해자의 치료에 관여하였고, 공소외 1과 피해자의 상태 및 향후 치료 방안에 관하여 협의하기도 한 점, 이 사건 병원은 의사가 5명에 불과한 그리 크지 않은 규모이고, 피해자과 같이 전슬관절 치환술 후 감염이 발생한 경우 정형외과와 일반외과의 긴밀한 협진이 필요할 것으로 보이는 점 등에 비추어 보면, 피고인에게 피해자의 감염 발생 후 처리에 관한 업무상 과실이 존재하는 것이 아닌가 하는 일말의 의심이 든다.
B. However, in order to recognize a medical worker's negligence in a medical accident, even though the medical worker could have predicted or avoided the occurrence of the outcome, it should be recognized as negligence that could not have been predicted or avoided. In determining the existence of such negligence, the standard for the degree of ordinary attention engaged in the same work and duties must be taken into account, and the general level of medical science at the time of the accident, medical environment and conditions, characteristics of the medical practice, etc. (see Supreme Court Decision 2009Do13959, Sept. 8, 201). The burden of proof of criminal facts prosecuted in a criminal trial must be based on the proof of probative value that the judge has a reasonable doubt that the facts charged are true to the extent that there is no reasonable doubt. Thus, if there is no evidence to form a conviction, even if there is doubt about the defendant's guilt, it is inevitable to determine the defendant's interest as the defendant's interest (see Supreme Court Decision 2006Do171367, May 26, 2006, etc.).

The following facts revealed by the records: (a) the victim was found to have been infected by ESA at the time of scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic scopic sc).

5. Conclusion
If so, the defendant's appeal is reasonable. Thus, the judgment of the court below is reversed pursuant to Article 364 (6) of the Criminal Procedure Act without examining the defendant's argument of sentencing chief, and the following decision is rendered again after pleading.
