Watch his body language, I can tell you he did plead guilty to a misdemeanor related to a domestic violence incident.
You can see someone who is eye blocking with his eyelids. Is looking upwards as he attempts to find the words.
Arm Shrugs.
He points his finger at the interviewer.
Gives us a illogical argument about his height being enough of a reason why he did not do this.
When she pressed for him to flat out deny it, he leans back in the chair.
Tries to deflect the attention off of himself, by coming to his wife's "defense" by explaining why he has a scar on his forehead.
With her training as an attorney, she never backs down. Never leans back, uses her finger to point at him, and is enticing him to show more negative emotion. It is a common tactic used to attempt elicit violence, because if he would have struck her in a violent manner, she would have her story, and have proven that he has the capability to inflict harms to others.
He never shows a violent facial expression and makes the right decision by leaving.
You might think the interviewer was too hard on him, or not polite, or civil but I would disagree. When you are attempting to get answers to your tough questions, and you are seeing signs of deceit- many times you do not have the luxury of being polite. I would recommend this tactic to police officers, news reporters, and attorneys but would never pull this if it was with a coworker, friend, or family member. It is all about the environment and situation.◦

While I agree with the assessment, I disagree with the comment that using this tactic is okay for police officers, news reports, and attorneys only.
If your goal is to get to the truth, then you may need to do this to reach that goal. I would suggest that it is really up to each individual to assess in the situation they are in, understand the possible consequences and make the call that makes sense for them, the situation, and the people involved.
I find it very inappropiate way of communicating, also in this situation and enviroment. You don't talk to people that way. You're innocent until proven guilty. And detection lies isn't exact science. So, you can't misbehave because you have some tells of lying. It's a bad excuse.
He does show signs of demeanor, because of the subtle one shoulder shrug which is a reliable sign of deception and his answer: No I don't I don't have a violent relationship with anybody.
He doesn't answer the question, he talks in present language (have), and shows distancing language (anybody).
This was the part that showed most deception during the interview. And the way the nice interviewer did that, was in a polite and appropiate manner. So I would recommend that tactic. Also it has scientifically proven the best tactic to interrogation.
