Sorry to be that guy, but dude, you rolled the dice and you lost. You had time to stop, you should know that it can be tricky on a left turn especially because you are going slower. It is going to be damn hard to prove that your car was 10 feet ahead into the intersection than back behind the line.

That being said, you could measure the duration of the yellow cycle on that particular light and compare it to the state standards and see if it is out of range. People have used that defense on red-light camera cases and they have found the yellow cycles to be too short for the speed and intersection.
