Casey Anthony: The infamous car is history

Casey Anthony’s white Pontiac Sunfire has been scrapped, WOFL-Channel 35 reported tonight.

The vehicle that figured prominently in Anthony’s murder trial — it was said to smell like death – was sent to a recycling yard and crushed.

“We learned that George Anthony and his attorney dropped off Casey’s car at a junkyard,” anchor Bob Frier said. ”The recycling yard told us they were ordered not to sell anything off the car.”

Anthony was acquitted last month of first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee.

In other Anthony news, defense attorney Jose Baez told TMZ that he isn’t concerned about a new Florida Bar inquiry into his ethics. Baez told TMZ that he is “looking forward to the bar completing its investigation, so that it can be dismissed just like the 20 previous complaints.”

The probe is related to the controversy over Anthony’s probation for check fraud. Her defense team argues that she completed probation in jail while awaiting trial for murder. Judge Stan Strickland said Anthony was to start probation after she left jail, but that point was lost because of a clerical error.

Chief Judge Belvin Perry has ruled that Anthony must report by Aug. 26 for a year of supervised probation. Perry faulted Anthony’s attorneys, writing that “the failure to abide by that order and the failure to notify the court of a known scrivener’s error in the order may be a violation of an attorney’s duty of candor.”

Anthony’s attorneys have appealed Perry’s probation ruling to the 5th District Court of Appeal in Daytona Beach.
