d. ernesto miranda was interrogated by detectives and encouraged to make incriminating statements about his activities for more than two hours.

Answer 1

Option c, Miranda being never identified by his victims, is not a reason for Miranda being granted a new trial. The Miranda v. Arizona case centered on the violation of Miranda's constitutional rights, including the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and the Sixth Amendment right to an attorney.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason Ernesto Miranda was granted a new trial that is not correct among the given options is c. miranda was never identified by his victims.

The landmark Supreme Court case, Miranda v. Arizona, set the precedent for what would become known as the Miranda Rights.

The issues at hand were the violations of Miranda's Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and his Sixth Amendment right to an attorney during a police interrogation.

The Supreme Court ruled that without being informed of these rights and waiving them voluntarily, any confession obtained could not be used as evidence, leading to the overturning of Miranda's original conviction.
