Why Didn’t Dumbledore Realize Sirius Black Was Innocent? - Harry Potter Theory

Twelve years. That's how long Sirius Black spent in Azkaban for crimes he never committed. And all that time, Dumbledore, one of the wisest wizards in history, believed he was guilty. But what’s strange about all of this is that Dumbledore knew Sirius personally. He also knew just how close he was with the Potters. So my question is: how did the same wizard who saw through Voldemort's greatest deceptions get tricked by…A rat.
