The short answer is yes. Since your wife lives in the home with you, she has authority to allow the police to enter. If she shares your bedroom with you, she has the authority to allow them into the bedroom. Your defense must be from a different direction. If the contraband was in a common area and not on your person, you may have a defense. You didn't say, but did you confess or claim ownership of the contraband?
