it was the *law* as given by Moses that set for the death penalty for specific law breaking

Actually, it wasn't Moses who established the Death Penalty. It was God, recorded in Genesis 9...hundreds of years before Moses.

"Actually, it wasn't Moses who established the Death Penalty. It was God, recorded in Genesis 9...hundreds of years before Moses."

Moses penned Genesis many years after Noah, and as I read Genesis 9 the covenant was made with Noah. Whereas Moses was given the Ten Commandments and their application in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy not only as individual laws but laws for national government. Yes the laws and penalties for breaking the law was given by the Heavenly Father.

Mr. Dawkins specifically refers to Christians and Christ called Moses the lawgiver.
