It's comforting to know that even documentary footage from MTV's True Life: I'm a Staten Island Girl is protected under the Shield Law. The Advance reports that Judge Matthew Sciarrino ruled that footage taken at Tottenville club Hush "does not contain relevant footage" of an alleged assault. The details of the assault are unclear, just that 40 year old Thomas J. Ford was charged with misdemeanor assault and harassment. The Staten Island DA's office wanted footage to make its case, but MTV successfully fought the subpoena. Sciarrino viewed the footage himself, and the Advance has Judge Sciarrino's ruling:
"The anonymity of the assailants was conspicuously preserved by the cameraman's behavior of pointing the camera downward or at inanimate objects each time a disturbance became apparent," the judge wrote. "Additionally, the lights for the camera would be turned off."We wonder if the cameramen for the show could be called as witnesses, too. But that's a nice move on the part of the cameramen - they probably only film fights when it involves their subjects.Sciarrino also said that Danielle DiPietro of Pleasant Plains, one of the show's subjects, had witnessed each of the incidents and could possibly be a source for prosecutors outside of the tape.
And DiPietro was the aspiring actress featured in the episode that showed Staten Island is a full of girls who like to tan seven days a week. The Post even called it "Staten Island for Dummies"!

That was the most hilarious true life ever. I hate MTV, but that one was a gem.
I caught that episode by accident and was hypnotized. It was on during the Thanksgiving holiday. The one who wants to became an actor was classic.
true life should win an emmy for this episode.
the best episode still though? the jersey shore one with the bald guy. anyone catch that? that guy was amazing.
Nah, this was better than the weekend Jersey Shore Share episode. But then both could be an off shoot of one another.
Two best moments from this True Life episode:
1) The one chick acting in the low-budget movie scene for her acting class.
2) The other chick talking to some guido meathead at some S.I. club and telling him that she's "100% Italian". His response: "Hot stuff."
One Debbie Mazur in Hollywood is enough.
I remember that Hot stuff comment but in the end he wasn't her type. I think it was because he wasn't one hundred percent Italian, he has some brasilian or something or other.
