Criminal Sentence 559: A State of Repetition

Heard on the Diamondbacks' broadcast last night:

"He's from Bremerton, Washington, in the State of Washington."

Thanks for clearing that up!

    When I hear "Washington" I assume D.C., so I appreciate the disambiguation.

    It's true that the U.S. does have two Washingtons (D.C. and the state), but it does seem to be a needless repetition here.
