manslaughter if he stopped after 1 hit when he went down.
murder 2 since he continued to beat him while on the ground, repeatedly.
Typically a DA is going to put the stiffest charge he/she thinks they can prove, knowing a plea down is a likely alternate. I think they have a very strong case against the father for murder 2, but i wouldnt be surprised if they accepted a plea deal. His added history of DV, will hurt him as well as the facts of the case.
