According to the extradition treaty the USA can not bring additional charges once they've got hold of him, what's in the request is it. Additionally the UK will not extradite for capital crimes unless a guarantee is made that the death penalty will not be invoked. Yes, the USA could ignore both of those conditions, provided they are willing to never have an extradition request go through again.
