Guilty, e.g. (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

plea

(Other definitions for plea that I've seen before include "Dispute" , "Leap (anag.)" , "Defendant's answer to a charge or claim" , "(and 14) Enjoyment - gratification" , "Earnest appeal" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and The Star Tribune.
