Except he didn't commit a crime by the DA's own admission. Albeit an unintentional admission.

You assume he knew that both charges had been fired, which I'm not even sure is an established fact. He'd have to have been provably aware of this for his actions to have been criminal, even under your standards. You can also use the taser in drive mode even if all darts have been deployed. As the Fulton County DA has established that a taser is a deadly weapon he was still in possession of a deadly weapon when he was shot.
