If you believe that the consensus interpretation is that it means any killing is forbidden then you are mistaken.

consensus translation? here is the Hebrew to English transliteration of the word, and the meaning according to Strongs: kill= ratsach, raw-tsakh'; a prim. root; prop. to dash in pieces, i.e. kill (a human being), espec. to murder:--put to death, kill, (man-) slay (-er), murder (-er). ratsach is the particular word used in Exodus 20:13 the part I would have a hard time with is all the nuance of the Hebre language used in context.

I suggest a useful exercise in thinking about the death penalty is to imagine yourself looking down the barrel of a riffle at a condemned prisoner. Could you pull the trigger? If you say No and you’re against the death penalty or if you say Yes and you’re for it, you can move on. If you say No and are for it you are a moral coward. If you say yes and are against it, you are a psychopath. If you say I’m not sure, you have some soul searching to do. Would I pull the trigger? I’m not sure.
