It doesn't work quite like that. People can be extradited to countries that have death penalty, as long as the country gives guarantees that death penalty (or other cruel punishment) will not be applied. Thus it is possible for a person to be extradited to U.S. for a murder committed in the U.S., but the death penalty is then not possible.

Well yes, it was a shorthand.

There aren't many countries with the death penalty that the UK has an extradition treaty with - 12 out of 121.
