Body language across a lot of samples and people can show patterns between this body language and lying. A single instance of someone displaying body language in a given context says virtually nothing. "Tells" vary wildly between people for a million different reasons as this study shows, and unless you study a specific individual very carefully in a scientific way, there is nothing you can gather from their body language.

Body language cannot be used as evidence in a court of law, but you bet your ass detectives use it effectively as cues all the time during investigations.

It’s not debunked, it’s just has to be used as a piece of the puzzle not the whole thing.
