And in Canada the preliminary hearing standard is damn low - if there is ANY evidence that might if believed lead to a conviction then the judge is required to send the charge to trial. No balancing, no determination if the evidence is believable, etc.

It is important to remember that in California, the term "probable
cause" does not refer to a probability of guilt, but only to a strong
suspicion of guilt.
