What does it mean for a judge to "sustain" an objection?
A : One of your attorney's duties is to raise an appropriate "objection" to any violation of the rules governing the kinds of evidence the jury can and cannot weigh in deciding a case. When a court "sustains" your attorney's objection, it is telling your opponent's attorney that he or she is proceeding in violation of applicable procedural law and must correct his or her error. In addition, if an objection is sustained, the answer given is not in evidence and the jury will be instructed by the judge to disregard the answer.

Like the previous answer... the motion to dismiss being sustained means granted, which means it was dropped, BUT...
You'd need to look at just what the motion to dismiss applied to. It's possible that there were several charges in front of the court, but only one was the subject of that motion. It's possible that the defendant was charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, kidnapping, and robbery, and they dropped the conspiracy count.
Keep trying the court or watch the news. Something was dropped, but not necessarily everything.
