Doing what morality forbids, then explaining why your case was special.

means Behavior that violates accepted standards of right and wrong.

from Built from Latin 'in-' (not) plus 'moralitas' (morality), which itself traces back to 'mos/mores' — custom, manner, the unwritten rules of how a community behaves. So immorality is literally the 'un-custom' state: not just wrongdoing, but a breach of the shared habits that hold a society together.
