Your story does not compute. You say it was green when you entered the intersection, then it went yellow while you were still in the intersection, and finally it went red while you were in the intersection? This is impossible.
I believe what happened was this: during your morning commute you were stuck in traffic. You entered the intersection before the car in front of you could clear the intersection. You then got 'pinned' in the intersection until the car in front could clear, resulting in your ticket.
This is a very common occurrence at that intersection.
If the above is the case, I believe the ticket is justified. I can't stand it when impatient people enter an intersection when they can't get out an end up stuck there, blocking opposing traffic on their green.
