We (everyone, especially the media) need to stop calling it the Ahmaud Arbery trial!!

It’s the McMichael’s/Bryan trial!! They are on trial, not Ahmaud Arbery!

Ahmaud Arbery was the victim and therefore HE is not on trial.

any title of this trial then it should be referred to as “The white supremacy murder of Ahmaud Arbery trial”.

I think that covers it if one doesn't want to refer to the defendants.
