Results are given for applying the helicity formalism to spin and parity analysis of a certain class of resonances decaying into another resonance and a non-resonant particle with the subsequent decay of the intermediate resonance into non-resonant particles. Integer and half integer cases are treated separately. The method outlined herein is hoped to be useful to those experimenters interested in performing a spin and parity analysis on resonance decay data.
