""I was not there!" is a non-contracted denial. "I wasn't there" is a contracted denial. Someone trying to hide his guilt may use formal grammar more than he normally would. To many, avoiding contractions can sound emphatic-"I did not take the money!" "I did not touch her!" When an honest person is accused of something he didn't do, his rst instinct is to reject the accusation as quickly and forcefully as possible: "I didn't do it!" Non-contracted denials are spoken slowly, possibly re ecting more forethought and less emotion than a genuine plea of innocence. They can be a sign of someone who's trying to oversell his honesty." - Pamela Meyer - Liespotting: 'Proven Techniques to Detect Deception'- Chapter 5: 'Listening To The Words'.
