In Harry's misuse of magic trial, why don't they provide his memories from a Pensieve as evidence?

Or even his memories of Voldemort's return, for that matter? Or something like Veritaserum? It seems like the manipulation of a memory is difficult problem and can be detected. I don't see why they wouldn't use this as evidence for their crazy claims.

Because the Dark Lord effectively owned the ministry at this point, and the whole trial was a kangaroo court exercise - it was never meant to be 'fair'. Without Dumbledore's interference Harry would have gone down regardless of evidence, especially as the ministry itself knew he was innocent yet still attempted to convict him. They were hardly going to allow irrefutable evidence to prove his innocence when it went against their objectives, we're they? It would defeat the purpose of trying to get him removed from blocking Voldemorts path.
