Interesting point. I have posted a similar theory a while ago on the
PoU list. I still have the gut feeling that Crouch Sr. or someone else
wasn't really interested in proving Sirius' innocence but wanted to
have him out of the way. And Azkaban seemed to be the perfect means to
achieve this goal, since most people go mad in there within weeks or
months.

Even if all PI's of AK produce shades, it should have been Peter's
shade to come out of the wand, not the shade of some Death Eater
Sirius might have killed before confronting Peter in London. So I
think either JKR didn't think of PI before GoF - which I doubt,
because she said in an interview that the fact that Voldemort and
Harry share wand cores would become a major plot element later - or
someone jumped onto the occasion to get rid of Sirius once and for
all.
