OBJECTION Overruled.......

What means objection overruled or objection sustained. 
Sustained:  When an objection is sustained, the judge has determined that is a valid objection.  That means the question was improper under the rules of evidence.  The witness may not answer the question.  (If the witness answers anyway, that answer may be "stricken.")  
Overruled:  When an objection is overruled, the judge has determined the objection is invalid.  The question may stand.  The witness must then answer the question.
  In this case objection overruled, explanation needed! 
Be your own judge!
