is carbon fiber spyderco military strong enough for self defense?

That Harvard grad student Alexander Pring Wilson sure had a hard time explaining it to the jury who convicted him of manslaughter in 2003. He used a Spyderco Military knife to defend himself. He made the mistake of calling police and turning himself in. He would in all likelyhood have not been caught if he had not turned himself in. He should have changed his clothes, thrown the knife in the Charles River, nearbye, and wrapped the clothing with a brick and thrown them in too. He never would have been caught or in any trouble. I guess he wasn't that smart after all.

His biggest mistake was living in Massachusetts. An American jury probably wouldn't have convicted him.
