I'm sure many Death Eaters do know that Sirius is innocent (though not
all of them -- we know that not all Death Eaters knew who all the
others were, implying some sort of cell structure among them).  But I
expect they kept quiet about it, not because they wanted to protect
Wormtail, but because they liked the idea of one of the good guys
rotting in Azkaban.  The Death Eaters who walked free must be
particularly amused -- they're living the high life, while Sirius
Black the Gryffindor golden boy is Dementor food.  I'm sure they get a
great laugh out of it.
