There are different people than the judge in this case who decide whether or not the UK should have an extradition treaty with the US.

Not really. It is perfectly compatible that (1) the UK has an extradition treaty with the US that requires that the US respects human rights for extraditions to actually happen, (2) the US does not respect human rights of prisoners, (3) therefore the UK never actually extradites anyone until 2 changes.
