Literally, "guilty mind" (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mens rea

'literally guilty mind' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for mens rea that I've seen before include "Criminal intent" , "intent to commit crime" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
