To me, Crouch was right to prosecute his son.  Clearly Crouch had some
evidence that his  son *was* a Death Eater.  I don't think he would have
prosecuted him without a reason.  The biggest mistake, I think, was
releasing him from Azkaban.  This move ended up getting him killed, and
it ended up helping bring back Voldemort.  Voldy would have had a hard
time getting to Harry without Crouch.

Betty, wondering if this post made any sense.
