You will lose a your-word-against-his case every time if you don't have other evidence or witnesses to back you up. When the clerk asked what plea you wish to enter, you should have requested to speak to the prosecutor. I've never had to face the accusing officer or explain my case to the judge. I've done this twice now and have gotten both tickets reduced significantly (one to a non-moving violation and the other to 4mph over), meaning I still have zero points on my license.
It sucks that you got screwed both on the road and in court... you just need to learn how to work the system. Life isn't over, though... even though you got the fine and the points, this experience shouldn't be too big of a setback.
