Charges of Indictment is the seventh studio album by American rap group The Dayton Family from Flint, Michigan. It was released on June 21, 2011 via Hatchet House/Psychopathic Records, making it the group's first full-length release on the label, and their second album since 1994's What's on My Mind? to feature the three original core members, Bootleg, Shoestring and Backstabber, following 2009's The Return: The Right to Remain Silent. The album features guest appearances from Dink Sosa, Flex of Top Authority, Gucci Mane, Insane Clown Posse, Philly Cocaine and Twiztid.
