This is unlikely, as Fudge had the dementors administer the kiss to 
Crouch.  Somehow, that seems far worse than giving him the truth 
serum.  The wizarding world probably looks upon the serum with as 
much suspicion as lie-detector tests in the Muggle world.  If there 
is a government out there you know of which admits these tests into 
court or allows their results to be written into the record of a 
trial, let me know.
