Under Mosaic Law there was a death penalty. And it was under the same law that the verse you quoted was also written. Vengeance is mine saith the Lord. Deut. 32:35.

So using that statement certainly cannot nullify a need for the death penalty. If there is a need to remove it, it's just that this argument won't work.
