    The document discusses the morality of a wrongdoer receiving lethal injection from prison guards before their scheduled time. While the wrongdoer deserved the punishment, it was not legitimate because the guards did not have the proper authority to administer it early. For a punishment to be considered legitimate and fulfill a wrongdoer's desert claim, it must be carried out by the authorities through the proper legal system and process.

    2. The wrongdoer is sentenced by the proper authorities.!
    3. The wrongdoer has gone through all the proper steps and all his affairs are in order for him
    to receive the lethal injection.!
    4. The prison guards sneak into the wrongdoers cell the night before his lethal injection and
    give him a lethal injection, without the wrongdoer knowing or feeling anything.!
    5. This course of action taken by the prison guards is immoral, because they do not have
    legitimate authority.!

    lethal injection, the guards did not have the authority to administer it when they did.!
    7. If the wrongdoers desert claim is to be satisfied, then it requires the punishment to be
    legitimate.!
