It's DIA TOUTO, and as it's a neuter, I hardly think it can refer back to
THN ZWHN AUTOU. I would understand it as referring to the entire main
clause of 5:11 as the antecedent.

Do you mean KATAKRIMA? It will mean "condemnation" and in this instance
that will be death, but I wouldn't want to endorse "death sentence" itself
as an appropriate translation for KATAKRIMA in 5:16.

Seems very strange to me; it really means "were constituted" = "were caused
to be" or even "were made" This verb KAQISTHMI regular means "put someone
into a state/condition," which state/condition is normally indicated as a
predicate accusative or, in this instance of a passive verb, as a predicate
nominative.
