Let's call the speaker "Jan." Let's say Jan is talking about Lewis.
Jan says one thing. Lewis says another. One is telling the truth, one is lying.
"Over" here means "more than."
"To believe Jan over Lewis" means you believe Jan more than you believe Lewis.
Jan is surprised, disappointed, angry that you believe Lewis. Jan expected you to believe Jan more than you believe Lewis.
