Did you already admit guilt and pay the fine?  If so, you're S.O.L.

The officer's credibility doesn't mean $hit if you admitted that you were 
driving 91 in a 65 mph zone.  By paying the ticket, you admitted guilt.

You needed to create doubt in the judge's mind by going to court and 
fighting the ticket.  What do you want to do?  File an appeal and tell the 
judge that you really lied when you said you were going 91 mph?

What's going to sound like a _real_ lie?

Sorry...
