  "summary": "Lindsay Clancy, 36, has had her request for a not guilty verdict denied by the judge in her murder case. Her defence team had argued that there was insufficient evidence to prove her responsibility for the deaths of her three children.\n\nThe judge turned down the defence motion, with prosecutors reportedly arguing that there was plenty of evidence. Clancy's attorney had claimed that prosecutors had not offered any proof of her guilt.\n\nThe development comes nearly a month after Clancy's first trial ended with a deadlocked jury, according to The Guardian US. Her case will now proceed.",
