Prosecutors often choose not to pursue additional charges against someone already serving a life sentence. This approach helps avoid wasting court time and resources on cases that are unlikely to change the individual’s circumstances or contribute meaningfully to justice (none of the murders for hire resulted in victims).

I actually wonder if those charges may still be on the table now that a pardon has been granted.

AFAIK they were dismissed with prejudice, so can't be brought again.
