No according to Sirius it was Crouch who convicted him with out trial while he was the head of the department of Magical Law Enforcement.  Now how about this...  When Crouch jr was convicted he was sent to Azkaban along with the Lestranges and an unidentified man.  Sirius says that jr made noises for a couple of weeks but then no more.  What kind of clues could J.K.R. be throwing at us with this?  Since Crouch sr was on the fast track to becoming the Minister of Magic, is it possible that Crouch jr was set up in order to discredit Crouch sr so that Voldemort and the Death Eaters could get a puppet into the Ministers position (Fudge is starting to look that way)? Crouch jr as Moody performs some pretty advanced magic for a person in their late teens early twenties, is it possible that the unidentified man mentioned earlier figuring that Crouch sr would get jr out of Azkaban performed a switching spell on him and was actually the person in the Crouch jr body that Crouch sr rescued from Azkaban?  Well these are just a couple thoughts that were floating around my head what does everybody else think?
