    One t in scot-free.

    From Scotland, where there are 3 possible verdicts to a murder trial:

    Guilty

    Not Guilty

    Not Proven

    In the 3rd instance, we may or may not all know you did it, but the State couldn’t prove their case, so you get away scot-free.

      Oh no shit eh? I was actually wondering as I typed that what the proper way to spell it was and where it came from. Thanks man!

      According to this, it had originally literally meant “exempt from royal tax”: https://www.etymonline.com/word/scot-free#etymonline_v_22952
