Overruled

"Overruled" is a legal term used by a judge during a court proceeding. It means that the judge has decided not to accept an objection raised by one side's lawyer. When an attorney objects to a question or a piece of evidence, they are asking the judge to review and possibly stop it. If the judge says "Overruled," it means the objection is denied, and the question or evidence can proceed. Essentially, it indicates the judge disagrees with the objection and allows the process to continue as it was.
