How can you say you care for your daughter who choked on her food when you have never bothered to attend a CPR certification course?
sustained means: that the judge agrees with the objection and the witness does not have to answer the question Overruled means: that the judge disagrees with the objection and the witness DOES have to answer the question
The witnesses answer is NOT RESPONSIVE to the question.
If a witness hears an objection during their testimony, they should remain calm and not respond until instructed by the judge. The judge will then decide whether to sustain (agree with) or overrule (disagree with) the objection. If sustained, the witness may need to stop answering the question or disregard part of their previous testimony. It's important for the witness to follow the court's directions and wait for further instructions before continuing.
The Judge has overruled the objection which means that he has found the objection to be without merit in law. The person on the witness stand must answer the attorney's question as asked.
"Sustained" is one of the two possible rulings on an objection raised by one of the attorneys. If an attorney asks an improper question, or a witness gives an inappropriate answer, the attorney for the opposite side (or, in the case of the inappropriate answer, the attorney asking the question) will object. The judge can then sustain the objection, saying "The question (or answer) is improper," or say the objection is "overruled"," meaning the question is proper and the witness may answer, or the witness' answer is accepted and the attorney should ask his next question.
When an attorney determines that the opposing counsel (or witness) has made, or is about to make, a statement or revelation which is contrary to established law and/or legal procedure. The judge rules on the objection by saying either "sustained", which means he agrees with the attorney who made the objection, and the opposing council must drop that line of questioning, or he says "overruled" or "I will allow it", which means he disagrees - for the moment - with the attorney who made the objection, and the opposing council can continue.
Jehovah's Witnesses have no objection to receiving gifts; they don't celebrate holidays that have pagan origins.
Since it is a matter of law, the witness to an illegal act should contact the police. As a matter of courtesy, the witness might also let the principal know.
No. An executor, onced appointed by the court, has complete and uninhibited access to the decedent's assets. Therefore the executor derives some benefit from the will and should not be a witness. If the other witness should be unavailable to testify regarding an objection to the will the executor as the sole available witness would cause the will to be exposed to challenges.

I have an objection to the vagueness of your "question."
In general, as a witness, you may not refuse to answer questions at a deposition unless there is a valid legal basis, such as invoking the Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination. However, you may object to specific questions as long as the objection is valid under the rules of evidence.
