Different kinds of criminal intent and the effect of criminal records on permanent recidency applications

The grocery store staff stopped me at exit and asked to check my bag. Yes I had forgotten to scan all items in my bag, because I was lost in my thoughts and worried about my child leaving for weekend and his health not being totally fine. I had some items in hand which I did scan. They called police and a complaint for ringa stöld was filed. I agreed that I have missed scanning but that was not my intent. I was occupied in my thoughts and I have the money to pay for those items. I am now ok to pay the fine as well. No fines are paid yet and I have a perliminary date for court on 12-sep. I am currently on work visa. I am gonna apply for me and my family Permanent Residency request in 3 months with help from my employer. The amount of theft was around 350sek. I was alone and my family has nothing to do with this. I am the main applicant of my visa. I and my spouse are both having good salaries and living a well behaved life since last 7 years. I have no previous offences. 1. They have CCTV footage etc, but the reason was I was lost in my thoughts, however they dont believe me. Is there any chance that the court will consider me innocent? 2. Should I wait for proceddings and go as they say, or call police and say that I am ready to pay the fine and try to close this soon? 3. Admitting the crime and paying fine is it better than fighting in court? 4. Will this theft affect my PR application? 5. Will it affect my spouses and childs PR application?
