There is no blood relationship, if that matters--only by his mother's re-marriage to a man, not Chauvin's father.

I think she's in a no-win situation, with her comments. No matter what, her son is still alive. Her attempts at mitigating her son's actions seem to have fallen kind of flat on the CNN panel.
