Can people be trialed for the same crime, if its a different victim?

Double jeopardy requires the same exact victim and act. Assume X punches Y and then punches Z. Three weeks later, X punches Y again. X can be charged for battery against Y and Z for the first fight, and then again for the second fight with Y, for a total of three prosecutions. |
