US-UK extradition - The law explained (2003) - There is some imbalance in the arrangements, it;s easier for the US to extradite people from the UK, but this article doesn't say anything about how the death penalty is handled, I would hope that any application that could face the death penalty would be rejected because otherwise it creats a rather blatant whole in the UK legal framework, essentially "The UK has no death penalty unless the US says we do"www.bbc.com #
