Hi, by the way, I'm new here, an Israeli teenage Potter fan.

 This is an issue that's been bugging me fairly, but I've been 
inspired to a solution by my lurking these past few days after 
joining the group...
 
 
 Aaaaaaaaaaanyway, Here's MY theory about why PI didn't 
 reveal Sirius's innocence. Picture it: the last ANYONE saw of Peter 
 before this incident was right before he transformed. Why is 
everyone 
convinced he left directly afterwards? My theory is, he SWITCHED 
 BLACK'S WAND WITH HIS OWN. It's plausible that part of 
 Sirius's 'shock' reaction is dropping his wand, right? And he might 
 not notice a rat at his feet in that same shock. So, Pettigrew, as 
a 
 rat, switches the wands(carrying them in his teeth) so the wand 
that 
 performed the 'explosion' spell is at Sirius's feet, and 
 the 'innocent' wand is near Peter's robes. 
 
 Now, a call to Ollivander's would have resolved the issue. But 
Sirius 
tells us his imprisionment was due to very hurried procedures(i.e, 
no 
 trial). Would it be so VERY remarkable if they skimped on the 
 investigation? So, a quick PI shows the circumstancial guilt, and 
in 
 the current state of the country, Crouch's Dark Wizard-catching 
mania 
 and the Secret Keeper evidence, Sirius is just presumed guilty 
 without a trial, and in the state of things, it slipped. Idea, no?
