(CNN) A former police officer who confessed to 13 murders and dozens of rapes that happened decades ago will be sentenced Friday in California. Joseph DeAngelo, the man known as the notorious Golden State Kille r, terrorized the victims in the 1970s and '80s. His ex-wife broke her silence in a statement submitted to the court but not expected to be read aloud. "I trusted the defendant when he told me he had to work, or was going pheasant hunting, or going to visit his parents hundreds of miles away. When I was not around I trusted he was doing what he told me he was doing."
