Casey Anthony's car crushed for scrap metal

ORLANDO, Fla. - The white Pontiac Sunfire that prosecutors used as evidence in the case against Casey Anthony has been destroyed.

WOFL in Orlando reports that George Anthony brought his daughter's car to a junk yard and turned the title over on Thursday.

The vehicle was crushed for scrap metal.

Prosecutors claimed there was evidence of human decomposition found in the trunk of the car. Attorneys for Casey Anthony disputed that claim.

Casey Anthony was acquitted last month of a murder charge in the 2008 death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. She was released from jail soon after.
