    All systems based upon English Common Law use that same system. The UN has TRIED to spread it around, with sporadic success. All countries influenced by France use the Napoleonic Code, which assumes guilt until innocence is proven. This unfortunately, but predictably, includes Louisiana.
    Habeas Corpus prevails in English-system nations as well. That is, limited detention without formal charges being filed.
