The killer was the guy's dad, so he could have easily told him everything that happened.
Except for the chick swapping the hair samples, but the killer wouldn't have to know what she did- all he needed to know was that his son was innocent, and she sent him to prison.
The ending screwed up the movie because it was unclear and seemingly pointless.
It just stopped.
I had to rewind it to watch again, just to see what happened, which was nothing. She walked out of the building, and the cops apparently didn't see her leave.
But really, wouldn't they have the building surrounded? No matter why they were there, whether they knew what was going on or whether they'd been lured there on a false tip, you'd THINK that they'd have somebody watching the back door.
Are we supposed to assume that the cops were morons, and that the woman escaped?
I guess.
But it's not exactly clear.
And even if that's what happens, what's the point? What are we supposed to feel when the closing credits hit?
All I felt, and apparently I'm not alone, was a big "Huh?"

He obviously knew who picked out his son in the lineup, errantly.
He obviously knew who prosecuted his son's case.
Once told, he could easily know who gave his son AIDS.
He could have tracked down the bureaucrat who denied his son the AIDS drug.
The other connections are all pretty impossible without him being literally omnipotent, or omnipresent or something.
And yes, John Terry was in LOST. And about 60 other things, too. He's a prolific and very successful actor. When I loaded this movie up, I took notice of his name, because he's easily the best actor in the cast. When he unmasked at the end, I forgot he was credited. So if that's him the whole time (and I'm not sure, because his voice is muffled), it's kind of a waste.

No. He knew absolutely nothing. I think you're thinking of Christian, who was killed by the killer. The killer's son was completely uninvolved in any of those people's lives. All he would have known was who had raped him, and that the DA produced false evidence, but he wouldn't even know if the DA had falsified it or someone else.
The DA banging the cop probably made it obvious to the father later on. The rapist, sure. However finding Christian seems unlikely, and finding the gun seller and the mob guy simply because they had a fleeting interaction with Christian was really stupid and completely unlikely. Finding the priest was impossible.

If the cops didn't see her at such close range, only seconds away, they should have heard the clatter of her high heels on the pavement. If you rewind the film, you'll clearly hear the noise she was making. Another thing is that she behaved as though she exactly knew her way around that building.
