Crouch and Bagnold let the Aurors use Unforgivables against the DEs, and had no problem throwing Black in Azkaban without a trial, so I think it's fairly safe to say that they weren't opposed to the idea of a lot of blood purist murderers suffering and dying. You'd think Dumbledore could've made a deal with them- all three of them throwing their support behind a push to see all DEs tried, dosed with truth serum, and given quality time with the dementors. I would think the Minister, the head of the DMLE, and the Chief Warlock could round up enough support to see it done, especially with a goodly chunk of the opposition bound and waiting for trial.
