It means when the lawyers object to what the lawyers on the opposite side are saying, and the judge doesn't agree to the objection, then he overrules it.
Overrules
Sustained correct answer is overrules :) hunteriscool34@yahoo.com
"Objection killed" (OK) refers to a legal term used in court proceedings when a judge overrules an objection raised by one party. This means that the judge has decided that the objection lacks merit and allows the evidence or testimony in question to be presented. Essentially, it indicates that the argument against the admissibility of the evidence has been dismissed.
That is the legal term. If a line of questioning in court continues to raise the same objection and the court overrules it, you can ask for a "continuing objection to [description of nature of question/conduct you object to]." If the judge grants it, you're good (as far as preserving error on appeal). If the judge does not grant a continuing objection, you need to keep making it.
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 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.
"Objection overruled" is a ruling by a judge that denies an attorney's objection during a trial, allowing the line of questioning or evidence to proceed. This means that the judge has determined the objection raised lacks legal merit and does not have a valid basis in the rules of evidence or courtroom procedure.
sustain
That a attorney made a legal objection and the Judge agreed to that
If you do no have any objection it means that you are not against something
When an objection is raised during a trial, a judge typically listens to the objection, considers the legal basis for it, and then makes a ruling on whether to sustain (agree with) or overrule (disagree with) the objection. The judge's decision helps determine what evidence or testimony can be presented in the trial.
Sustain is a term that is subject to several definitions.In the context of trial practice, it refers to a judge agreeing that an attorney's objection is valid.(e.g.: If an attorney asks a witness a question, and the opposing lawyer objects, saying the question is legally "improper" or some other objection, if the judge sustains the objection, the question cannot be answered nor asked again.)In the context of appellate practice, an appelate court sustains a lower court judgment, if it leaves it intact, rather than overrules it.
