I don't have PoA at hand, either, but I think the word is "imprisoned"
instead of convicted. "Convicted" implies a trial, and there was none.
I also think that "crime" is actually "murder," which implies that
Siri doesn't care much at that point if it's murder, justice, revenge,
or whatever.

As DG says, he got busted for "killing 13 people with one curse." 
That's what Stan Shunpike tells Harry on the Knight Bus, and Stan
knows only what the public knows. Fudge later says that the secret
keeper incident is not well known.

Flame?  More like a shower of sparks and a smoulder. But douse it with
a few buckets of water anyway, stir it with a stick, and make sure
nothing is smoking before you leave the campsite.
