There have been lots of shenanigans with the red light cameras. Often they are installed and operated by private companies who split the proceeds with the local municipalities. In some cities, they've found lights set up with very short yellow light times, such that it's impossible for a car traveling at the speed limit to avoid running a red light. Some cities have pulled them out after bad experiences. Others have found that simply re-timing their traffic lights is more effective at reducing accidents than the red light cameras.
If you decide to fight the ticket, do your research first. Chances are you're not the first person to dispute a camera ticket in your state; figure out what your rights are and what burden of proof is on the city.

One last thought: It's difficult to prove a negative! Red light cameras capture cars entering an intersection after the light turns red. The picture shows your car turning right on a red, which is LEGAL. Make them prove your wife DIDN'T stop before the light turned. Unless they have high-speed video, they can't prove it. Note that they should have to show video of the approach of your car to the light, since it's quite possible your wife stopped BEFORE the light turned red, then proceeded. That's still legal, even if she was rolling at the moment the light turned.
