(I don't know whether the Austrians also have a law preventing extradition to a country with the death penalty; as far as I recall Germany does.) AFAIK there is an EU-wide US extradition treaty of some sort from a few years back that demands that the suspect can't be sentenced to death if he was extradited from an EU country.
