in a jury trial in the US, what happens after a judge sustains an objection?

187 views

If the jury heard what the witness said because they spoke over the lawyer objecting then the jury clearly heard it, what happens after?

Are the jury expected to forget that?

Jury is required to disregard what’s been said.

while its not entirely possible to not hae this sort of thing slip by, a judge can veto a jury’s decision if its proven it has been compromised(and they shold have already punished the witnesses/lawyers for comtempt of court and at worse throwing out their whole testimony as non admissable as evidence)
