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

Question

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?

Answer 1

The jury is *supposed* to disregard what was said, pretend it never happened. But as all lawyers know, you can’t unhear things, which is why they will still ask questions, or make statements they fully know will be objected and sustained. Still puts that bit of doubt in a jurors mind.
