I live near Napoleon, Ohio where Gov. Scott is buried. While talking to my lawyer who is also a local historian I mentioned that the phrase "Getting away Scott free" had its origins with Gov. Scott's murder trial as mentioned in this article. He disagreed and thought the phrase was related to Scottish people.
Wikipedia itself has an article on the phrase and says it has to do with an old word meaning taxes. [[1]]
So while my lawyer/local historian and the other Wikipedia article disagee over the true origin of the phrase, both deny that it has anything to do with Gov. Robert K. Scott as is stated in this article.

'“The Roughs” boarded the Wabash Railroad bound for Napoleon with an anonymous gift of two barrels of whiskey and all thoughts of justice were washed away.'
