In the UK we don't have the same process. Rather than have a prosecution go to a jury, without hearing a defence, and allow them to decide if there is a case to answer we have the CPS (England and Wales) or Procurator Fiscal (Scotland) who make those decisions on whether a case has sufficient evidence to go ahead.
