The lawyer for former Stanford University swimmer Brock Turner, who was jailed for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman, argued that his client’s conviction should be overturned since he only wanted “outercourse.”

Attorney Eric Multhaup told a California appeals court in San Jose on Tuesday that Turner had his clothes on when he was caught by a pair of Swedish grad students on top of a half-naked, intoxicated woman, The Mercury News reported.

Multhaup explained to the three-judge panel that “outercourse” is sexual contact while fully clothed, the news outlet reported.

In response to his argument, Justice Franklin Elia said: “I absolutely don’t understand what you are talking about,” as he noted that the law “requires the jury verdict to be honored.”

“We are not in a position to say [of the jury], you should have gone a different way,” Elia said, according to The Mercury News.

Justice Adrienne Grover asked Multhaup: “You’re saying [the jury made unreasonable inferences?”

Multhaup responded: “Yes,” adding “they filled in the blanks.”

Assistant Attorney General Alisha Carlile argued that Multhaup had offered a “far-fetched version of events” that did not support the facts of presented in the case.

The panel of justices have 90 days to issue a ruling.

Turner, 22, of Dayton, Ohio, was convicted in March 2016 for sexually assaulting an intoxicated woman outside of an on-campus fraternity house in January 2015.

Turner, who is required to register for life as a sex offender, was sentenced to six months in jail, but released for good behavior after serving three months.

The case led to the recalling of Santa Clara County Judge Aaron Persky, who issued the lenient sentence.
