The objection is sustained.
sustain
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.
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.
"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.
Overrules
In a court of law, the opposite of "sustained" is "overruled." When a judge sustains an objection, it means they agree with the objection and disallow the evidence or testimony in question. Conversely, when an objection is overruled, the judge disagrees and allows the evidence or testimony to be presented.
The judge feels that a rule of the court has been broken. *
The judge issues a concurring opinion if he or she agrees with the result but not with the reasoning behind the result.
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.
