I think I can reconcile this matter.  Crouch, Sr addresses the jury on 
the RIGHT side of the hall, who are those who vote to convict Crouch, 
Jr.  Harry is on the LEFT side (pg. 513) and Dumbledore is next to him 
(pg. 514) therefore also on the left.  Dumbleore was not on the jury 
and had no vote to cast one way or the other.
