Moody Vs. Wormtail and Crouch = Freedom for Sirius?

On page 689 of the American version of GOF, Dumbledore is questioning 
Crouch with the help of Snape's Veritaserum:

"You needed Moody." said Dumbledore. His blue eyes were blazing, 
though his voice remained calm. 
 "Wormtail and I did it. We had prepared the Polyjuice Potion 
beforehand. We journeyed to his house. Moody put up a struggle. There 
was a commotion. We managed to subdue him just in time..."

Wormtail and Crouch bust into Moody's house and Moody fights. Sure, 
he was taken off guard, but from what Crouch said we can reasonably 
conclude that he saw Peter Pettigrew. 
Moody is connected enough to recognize Pettigrew, and in any 
statement he would give, he would certainly mention Peter as one of 
his assailants. I'm thinking this could be the first step towards 
freedom for Sirius. Now granted, Fudge has his head in the sand and 
is continuing to burrow, so I don't think Sirius will be cleared 
until Fudge is canned, especially considering Moody's reputation as a 
paranoid eccentric. But hey, it's a start.
