the act of a guilty vs act of a guilty

The phrases are not directly comparable as they are incomplete. However, if we assume that the first phrase should be "the act of a guilty person" and the second phrase should be "an act of a guilty person," then the correct version would depend on the context. The first phrase is more specific and emphasizes a particular guilty individual, while the second phrase is more general and could refer to any guilty person.
