Answer 1

To support Bly's suggestion that the judge was unfit to pronounce the women insane, the most relevant piece of evidence would be:

"Sometimes the judge didn’t even bother to check the woman’s identity against court records."

This statement highlights a lack of due diligence and care in the judge's process, implying that critical information about the women was not being considered before making serious determinations about their mental health.
