I thought it was interesting to note that the Atlanta PD policy specifically says you're not allowed to use a Taser on someone who is running away.
Also in 2016 an Atlanta officer was not charged when he shot and killed a suspect after the suspect used pepper spray on him. Pepper spray is also the same non lethal category as a Taser.
So there's the range any jury has to work with. A Taser is capable of incapacitating someone; but not to the point of pepper spray and not when you're running away, and not when there are two officers. If an officer isn't allowed by policy to taze someone who is running away, it's going to be hard to find the officer not guilty.

The murder charge will not hold up

I'm not sure about that. It's a felony murder charge, not murder. If you are convicted of a felony and someone dies during the commission of the felony, you're probably guilty of felony murder. People have been convicted of felony murder when all they were doing was sitting in the get away car. If he's guilty of assault, I don't see how he could be innocent of felony murder.
