 I'm going to have to re-read POA, but it was my impression that 
 Sirius never said he wasn't guilty, and in fact did feel that it was his 
 fault the Potters died. He offered no resistance to going to Azkaban, 
 and didn't ask for a trial.

 Witherwing:
 I agree that it's unbelievably sad, that Sirius wrongly spent all those years in Azkaban, but in my memory of the text, he was so overwhelmed by guilt, having talked James and Lily out of choosing him as their Secret Keeper, that he considered himself deserving of the punishment. 
 

 Now, who among us is willing to go get PoA and re-read!?!?
